BA abandons business class only route

BRITISH AIRWAYS is to abandon the Amsterdam – New York business class only route flown by its subsidiary called Open Skies after just nine months.  Flights stop 16 August.  BA is known to be considering the whole future of the venture which also operates twice daily from Paris Orly to JFK.  The problems of “Open Skies” were highlighted when, at the recent Business Travel Market, a senior travel buyer based in London but responsible for Europe said she knew nothing about the operation.  Launched in January 2007, the airline purchased just over 12 months ago the French airline L'Avion for £54m, doubling its size. www.flyopenskies.com
