La Compagnie suspends its London – New York route
Boutique business class airline La Compagnie confirms that it will be suspending its London – New York route, effective from September 25. This decision has been made in view of a new economic climate in Europe, fuelled by Brexit, and that has already affected various significant players within the airline industry. The decision, taken by CEO Frantz Yvelin and his team, has been made in order to enable the boutique airline to continue with its development. The operation of the London – New York route will be suspended as La Compagnie looks to intensify its presence on the Paris – New York route, focusing on the success of its original route. The second daily flight from Paris to New York will be introduced in October 2016. La Compagnie will operate its last round trip flight between London – Luton and New York – Newark on September 24.
