Eos Planning to Expand Service

Eos, one of the many all-business-class airlines that's working the trans-Atlantic market, will expand its service next year. Right now, Eos only flies between JFK and London Stansted, but starting in early 2008, Newark to London flights will begin followed later in the year by JFK to Paris. Where exactly in Paris--and when exactly service will start--we don't yet know.

Eos sets itself apart with seats that convert to fully flat beds and a maximum of 48 passengers per flight. Fliers also have an "Eos Guide" that helps whisk you through security. But you'll pay for the privilege.

While you can't yet book the EWR to Stansted flights, fares for JFK-STN in February are coming up around $2,900 all-in. Maxjet has the same dates--but no flat beds--for $1,250 and Silverjet will get you from Newark to London Luton for $2,350, lay-flat seat included.

And here's something else to keep an eye on: Eos is getting two new planes, bringing its fleet total to eight Boeing 757s. That'll allow the airline to expand even more--though we'll have to hear some details on these two new routes before jumping to any conclusions about further expansion plans.
