Raleigh-Durham, gateway to the "Research Triangle"

Capital of North Carolina, Raleigh is one of the most dynamic cities in the South of the United States. It mixes traditions, history and modernity in a wooded setting, earning it the nickname "city of oaks". The neighboring towns of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill have three prestigious universities and form the "Research Triangle", a true national jewel of education, research and innovation. The second center of high-tech industries in the United States behind Silicon Valley, the "Research Triangle Park" is one of the most important research and technological development centers in the country.

This route was previously operated by Delta Air Lines, Air France's partner in the transatlantic joint venture involving Air France, KLM, Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic.
