No public record scores Paris Charles de Gaulle to Phoenix Sky Harbor International flight by flight. The US Department of Transportation's on-time database covers domestic flights only, and in Europe only the United Kingdom publishes punctuality by route, so what follows is built from the three measurements that do exist. The DOT's international report counts 410 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about four departures a week in each direction, flown by Air France. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 65.7% of all departures from Paris Charles de Gaulle leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 78.2% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 77.9% of PHX's domestic departures arrived on time in the DOT data, which says something about how the airport itself runs, not about this route.
On EUROCONTROL's year-to-date arrival punctuality, Paris Charles de Gaulle ranks 12th of the 41 European airports on this site with service to the United States. Bilbao leads that table at 84.3% and Manchester closes it at 65.7%. A long-haul departure inherits the airport's morning: an aircraft that arrived late from its previous sector, or a departure queue built up by weather, delays the transatlantic wave with everything else.

US DOT, last twelve months of domestic departures
Without a route-level record, the useful question is what the two airports do to a schedule. EUROCONTROL attributes 0.7 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle so far this year; that is delay imposed by the network to hold traffic on the ground elsewhere, not the airline's own. In the DOT data, a delayed domestic departure from PHX ran about an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 0.87% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.
Carrier by carrier
Who flies CDG to PHX
Air France is the only carrier the DOT report shows on CDG to PHX, with 410 flights and an average of 245 passengers aboard each. A single-carrier route gives a delayed passenger no same-day alternative on the same ticket, which is worth knowing before booking a tight onward connection.

DOT international report, July 2025 to June 2026; flights in both directions together. No delay figures exist for this pair in any public source.
Across the year
How often CDG to PHX flies through the year
The DOT's international report puts 52 flights on the pair in June 2026, the busiest month of the window, and 24 in February 2026, the thinnest. A summer-to-winter swing of that size means the winter schedule is a different operation: fewer frequencies, so a cancellation leaves a longer wait for the next seat.

The arrival airport
Landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Phoenix Sky Harbor International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 77.9% of its 198,019 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running about an hour late, and 0.87% were cancelled. Those are domestic flights, not this route, but an arriving transatlantic flight shares the same runways, the same weather and the same ground delay programmes, so a bad day at PHX reaches a flight from CDG just as surely. The airport's own page has the hour-by-hour and month-by-month detail, and its live FAA status appears above when the FAA has something to say.

Your rights
EC 261/2004 on CDG to PHX

What to do with this
Booking CDG to PHX
There is no grade to give CDG to PHX without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about four departures a week in each direction, a single carrier, a departure airport that gets 66% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 78% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at PHX; immigration comes before the connecting flight.
