Charles de Gaulle (CDG) tracks the same 8-destination South Asia slice seen elsewhere in this dataset — Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Delhi, Mumbai, Kathmandu, Dhaka, and Colombo — but with a noticeably stronger verification rate: 5 of 8 carry a verified historical direct-service record, led by Air France on the Indian routes and Pakistan International Airlines and SriLankan Airlines on the others.
A 5-of-8 rate on an identical route list where a comparable European hub shows only 2 of 8 verified tells you this isn't a fixed property of the South Asia corridor itself, but of which carriers have historically served which specific pairs from which specific airport: Paris's mix of Air France, PIA, and SriLankan coverage produced more confirmed routes than a KLM-only network would on the same list. Karachi, Kathmandu, and Dhaka remain unverified from Paris and should be treated as connection-routed itineraries, likely via a Gulf hub, for now.
All 8 of Paris's tracked destinations are international and long-haul, running from 5,895 km (Islamabad) to 8,483 km (Colombo). Air France appears on the Delhi and Mumbai routes, Pakistan International Airlines on Islamabad and Lahore, and SriLankan Airlines on Colombo — all five verified; Karachi, Kathmandu, and Dhaka show no matching record.

5 of Paris's 8 tracked routes — Islamabad, Lahore, Delhi, Mumbai, and Colombo — carry a verified historical operating record; Karachi, Kathmandu, and Dhaka do not and should be read as distance and routing references only.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 2 carriers operating this city pair, flying Airbus A330-200, Boeing 787-8. It's the best-served pair in Paris's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.

AF Air FranceCDG is the consistent origin code across this table; a GDS availability search should return live options directly on the 5 verified routes, while the 3 unverified ones are worth checking for current one-stop routing before quoting a connection time to a client.

5 of 8: Islamabad, Lahore, Delhi, Mumbai, and Colombo. Karachi, Kathmandu, and Dhaka show no verified record.
Air France on Delhi and Mumbai, Pakistan International Airlines on Islamabad and Lahore, and SriLankan Airlines on Colombo.
Colombo, at 8,483 km and about 10 hours flight time, and it is verified via SriLankan Airlines.
Not according to this dataset — Dhaka shows no verified historical direct-service record from CDG, so plan for a connection and confirm current options in your GDS.
On this identical 8-city list, yes by verification count: CDG shows 5 of 8 verified, a higher rate than a comparable hub like Amsterdam's 2 of 8 on the same routes.
