La Compagnie, an all business class airline flying between New York (Newark International) and Paris (Charles de Gaulle), announced an order for 2 new Airbus A321-NEO aircraft last month. The boutique air carrier placed the order three years after launching as an exclusively business-class airline on the 4th of July in 2014, and one year after adding a second daily flight between New York and Paris. The airline currently uses a fleet of two Boeing 757 aircraft that are outfitted with 74 lie-flat seats.
La Compagnie, French for “The Company”, is accelerating its development with the order of the two Airbus A321-NEO aircraft. The investment marks a major milestone for the still-young airline, revealing its plan for stable growth and future route expansion. Due for delivery in 2019, the new modern, efficient and eco-friendly A321-NEO aircraft will take La Compagnie’s in-flight business-class experience to a new level. The planes will be equipped with the latest in technology, Wi-Fi, and full lie-flat beds. This should allow its passengers to be well-connected and well-rested upon arrival in New York or Paris.
The airline joined forces with XL Airways in 2016, and has progressively focused on optimizing its performance across all fronts. The choice of the French aeronautical firm Airbus strengthens La Compagnie’s French spirit and philosophy that has made the carrier desirable for intercontinental passengers. The airline has always been an advocate for the French business community, and with the selection of Airbus and the A321-NEO, they are able to illuminate their French touch and travel experience.
