Air France Presents ‘Passengers’, The Podcast Where Travellers Tell Their Own Unique Stories

Flying Stories: The Air France Podcast

A life-saving heart transplant, reconnecting on the other side of the world, meeting the love of your life… These real-life, unique stories all have one thing in common: air travel. Five travellers share their extraordinary stories in ‘Passengers’, the new Air France podcast. The series is now available on podcast platforms and board the airline’s long-haul flights.

For 92 years, Air France has connected passengers globally, offering them a distinctive travel experience. In its ‘Passengers’ podcast, the airline has invited five travellers—Guillaume, Sophie, Mariel, Igor, and Anna—to recount their experiences.

In each of the five 15-minute episodes, listeners are invited to delve into stories of remarkable encounters and experiences made possible by air travel. The journey begins with Guillaume, a heart surgeon and university professor, who recounts the transportation of the first human heart across the Atlantic from the West Indies to Paris aboard an Air France flight to save a patient’s life. Following his story is Mariel, an adopted child in the United States who reunites with her birth family in France as an adult. Then there’s Anna, who finds love after switching seats on a flight. These real-life tales extend beyond the mere act of flying, highlighting how air travel significantly impacts our lives.

The ‘Passengers’ podcast is now available in French and English on Deezer, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. It is also offered on long-haul flights as part of the in-flight entertainment selection.
