OpenSkies Builds Airline With Community Input
British Airways is planning to launch a new premium transatlantic airline, called OpenSkies, focusing on high-end travel experiences. The airline, which is scheduled to begin operations in June 2008, will initially fly daily from New York to Brussels and Paris with one Boeing 757 aircraft carrying up to 82 passengers in business, premium economy and economy sections.
A second aircraft will be added to the fleet later to fly to other European cities, including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid and Milan. The plan is to operate six 757s by the end of 2009, all of which will be sourced from the current British Airways’ fleet.
