BA flies JFK-Paris with OpenSkies subsidiary
Will add JFK-Amsterdam next
The first airline created as a result of the Open Skies Agreement between the U.S. and the European Union is appropriately named OpenSkies, a premium transatlantic carrier from British Airways. (The Open Skies Agreement, which took effect in March 2008, allows airlines to fly between any U.S. and E.U. destination.) OpenSkies operates between Paris (Orly) and New York (JFK) and code-shares on the route with the French airline L Avion, which BA has acquired. OpenSkies business class features 24 seats—each reclining to a six-foot-long, fully flat bed—with two universal power plugs, personal entertainment units with more than 50 hours of programming, and à la carte meals. Premium economy has 28 seats, each with a 52 inch seat pitch and a recline of 140 degrees, two power ports and a personal entertainment system. Economy class currently includes 30 leather seats with adjustable headrests and personal entertainment systems, although OpenSkies said it plans to eliminate the economy section to expand premium economy seating. The airline currently operates one B-757, but plans to add a second 757 later this year. It will add JFK-Amsterdam flights this fall. By the end of 2009, the carrier expects to operate six aircraft flying to New York from Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt and Milan. For more information, visit flyopenskies.com or ba.com.
