Newark (EWR) → Paris (CDG)
A reference for the Newark Liberty International Airport to Charles de Gaulle International Airport route. You'll find the operators on file, the great-circle geometry, the connecting options if no nonstop fits your dates, and a short profile of each endpoint airport.
The flight from Newark (EWR) to Paris (CDG) covers a great-circle distance of roughly 5,857 km (3,639 miles). Aircraft leave Newark Liberty International Airport on an initial northeast heading. As international sectors go, this one sits in the extended long-haul bracket: long enough that most carriers run it as its own dedicated rotation, but short enough to fit inside a single crew duty period.
4 carriers file a direct EWR to CDG sector, with Air France and Delta Air Lines among the operators on record. A route attracting this many carriers usually points to a city pair with both leisure and business demand, or a competitive hub-to-hub link where the airline alliances overlap on the same metal.

Sectors this long are almost always flown by widebodies with extra fuel tankage. The 787-9, A350-900, and 777 family are the regulars on routes like this. Block time runs about 7h 38m, with two meal services, a long sleep cycle, and (on premium fares) lie-flat seating that's now the industry default for journeys this long.
If a nonstop doesn't match your dates, Atlanta (ATL), Chicago (ORD), and London (LHR) show up on both ends of the network and make the most natural connecting points. The connecting-hubs grid below extends that list to the eight strongest options, ranked by each airport's overall departure activity. That ranking is a fast proxy for how many onward flights a single stop is likely to feed.

This is an international sector between United States and France. Build in time for passport validity, possible visa requirements, and the time-zone gap between Newark and Paris. International itineraries are quoted in local time at each end, so a "midnight" departure in Newark typically lands the next morning in Paris. Customs clearance happens on first arrival in the destination country.
On the day of operation, the EWR to CDG direction lifts off heading northeast, then the great-circle track curves to compensate for the Earth's rotation. The return CDG to EWR sector heads west out of the gate, with 1 operators on file for the inbound side. Combine the two operator lists for a full picture of the city pair's competitive landscape.

Reading this route page
The operator list reflects scheduled-route filings in the OpenFlights dataset, not real-time availability. A carrier appearing here publishes a scheduled service on this sector. It isn't a live timetable, and the actual flight numbers, frequencies, and aircraft types shift season to season. For booking and current schedules, cross-reference the airline page above with the carrier's own website.
Distance here is the great-circle arc between the two airports' published coordinates. Real flight tracks wander off that line because of wind, ATC routings, oceanic crossings, and political airspace constraints. Block time is an estimate covering ground taxi, climb, cruise at typical jet speeds, and descent. Real block times shift with aircraft type, weather, and traffic, so treat the stat-strip number as a planning indicator rather than a published flight time.
