From 23 to 28 April 2026, Air France is the official partner of the ninth season of CANNESERIES. To mark the occasion, the airline presented the Air France Travelers’ Choice Award for the first time this evening to The Corsican Line, recognizing this CANAL+ Original Creation series as the most popular programme on board its flights.
On 24 April 2026, the champagne-coloured trophy – inspired by an airplane window, an iconic symbol of the world of travel – was awarded to The Corsican Line, a CANAL+ Original Creation series. After climbing the steps of the famous pink carpet, Fabien Pelous, EVP Customer at Air France, presented this top prize to the series’ director, Pierre Leccia, on stage at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes.
Premiered at CANNESERIES in 2025, The Corsican Line was the most popular series on board Air France flights. In an original and unprecedented approach, the winner was chosen based on usage data recorded on board, including audience figures, number of views and time spent watching the programme. With no voting or jury involved, this award reflects solely the actual choices made by Air France passengers over the six months the series was shown on the airline’s 38,000 screens, providing a true reflection of the series’ success.
By launching this new award, Air France is reaffirming its commitment to the world of TV series and its role in promoting French and international cultural content around the world. The Air France Travelers’ Choice Award is intended to be presented regularly at major arts festivals with which the airline partners. Following CANNESERIES, it will be presented this year at the Deauville American Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, recognizing series that have been previewed at previous editions of these major cultural events, prior to being shown on Air France flights.
