La Compagnie President: All-Business-Class Can Work
February 27th, 2020 at 2:14 PM EST
Can an all-business-class airline work? La Compagnie President Christian Vernet thinks so. While others have failed — remember MAXJet? — Vernet said his airline’s product sets it apart, and the A321 is the ideal aircraft for both the route and the on-board product. And as for the other 10 airlines that operate the Paris-New York route, including behemoths like Air France and Delta? Vernet said business class passengers on La Compagnie appreciate not waiting while “300 other passengers [are] going through the aisle … finding the economy section of the aircraft.” In addition to its year-round Paris flights, the airline again this summer is planning to operate Newark-Nice flights.
