OpenSkies, the airline, takes off

OPENSKIES, the controversially named and only surviving dedicated business class airline operating across the North Atlantic, is now a full subsidiary of British Airways.  The carrier, previously called L’Avion, and flying since January 2007, announced a BA E68m purchase last July.  This deal has now been completed.  The airline operates four Boeing 757 in a two-class configuration, and currently flies to Newark New York twice daily from Paris Orly and has a single service weekdays, again to Newark, from Amsterdam.  The airline offers "Biz Bed", a fully flat beds cabin, and "Biz Seat", still in the business class mode and offering a 51” seat pitch and 140° reclining.  www.flyopenskies.com
