Airline Report: EWR to ORY Means Business

October 13, 2006 at 9:53 AM | 0 Comments

Newly formed French airline Elysair has announced it plans to start all-business-class service from Newark to Paris (Orly) in December. The party will kick off with just one leased Boeing 757-200 and six flights weekly.

No announcements regarding fares have been made yet, save for that they'll "be competitive with those of mainstream airlines." You'll have to wait until next month, when Elysair promises to reveal more information, to find out what that actually means. If they offer lower fares like MAXjet, it should be a sweet deal, especially because Orly is one of those "alternative" airports that is actually closer than its big brother(s) to the city it serves. Then again, we'll make our final evalutation on the "deal" when details on seats and amenities are released.
