French La Compagnie to begin service to New York

French all-business class transatlantic airline La Compagnie will begin operating seasonal flights between Nice and New York-Newark Liberty International from May 5, 2019. The move will increase to 2 the number of routes operated by the carrier. La Compagnie’s service to Newark from Paris Orly is its only transatlantic route, following a decision in 2016 to axe flights between London Luton and Newark. La Compagnie will operate the Nice service 5X-weekly between May and October, using a Boeing 757-200 configured with 74 lie-flat seats. The airline’s fleet will increase to 3 aircraft when it takes delivery of 2 Airbus A321neos in April. The A321neos, which will be equipped with 76 lie-flat seats, will be used to expand the carrier’s Paris-New York flights, a spokeswoman confirmed. <br/>
