Why does this charge appear?

Air France uses the abbreviated billing descriptor "AF*" on bank statements because the airline's payment processing systems, particularly those handling international bookings made through their website or global distribution channels, truncate the merchant name to comply with character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard. The "AF" portion reflects the airline's well-known IATA carrier code, which Air France has used for decades across aviation and financial systems worldwide. If you recently purchased a flight, upgraded a seat, or added baggage through Air France's booking platform, the AF* entry on your statement is almost certainly that transaction.
