La Compagnie to upgrade business class product next April
French boutique airline La Compagnie will upgrade its inflight product next spring when it debuts a new aircraft type, the Airbus A321 Neo, outfitted with 76 fully flat beds in a 2-by-2 configuration. The jet will also come equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi on its daily New York-Paris flights, in partnership with Viasat, said VP Jean Charles Perino. Currently, the all-business-class airline operates a fleet of two 757 aircraft with 74 angled lie flat seats. With the new aircraft and seating, La Compagnie’s inflight product will be even closer to the business class product on mainstream airlines such as Air France, where fares in that service class can be as high as US$9,000 roundtrip on the same route. The company will phase out its 757s in favour of the new plane type, with the first of the 2 A321s scheduled to arrive in April 2019. <br/>
