British Airways OpenSkies

OpenSkies, the French subsidiary of British Airways, is adding a new ‘Eco’ cabin class to its aircraft and dropping its Business Class only configuration.  Its aircraft remains the single aisle Boeing 757-200.  The airline flies twice daily between Orly Paris and Newark New York.

Beginning 19 June OpenSkies will operate with ‘Biz Bed’, 20 seats lie-flat Business Class, 28 seats ‘Prem Plus’, a traditional cradle offering, and 66 leather seats in what is termed ‘Eco’ Class.

“OpenSkies is a unique product on the market. The investments that we are announcing today aim to improve this airline so that it will be even closer to the expectations of our clients,” said Patrick Malval, the recently appointed Managing Director of OpenSkies.  “The introduction of Eco Class is the first of a long series of investments, on the ground and in the air, from which OpenSkies will benefit and which our passengers will undoubtedly be able to appreciate.”

In New York ‘Biz Bed’ and ‘Prem Plus’ clients in effect become British Airways passengers with the use of all facilities including the check-in, access to priority lanes at security check points and the option to dine before the flight to maximize  resting time whilst travelling. www.flyopenskies.com
