French Riviera To Get Permanent Nonstop Link To New York
La Compagnie, a business class-only airline, has announced the extension of its seasonal nonstop service between Nice-Côte d’Azur and Newark to year-round. The service, which will operate up to four times per week, will be the only nonstop link between Nice and the US outside of the summer season. La Compagnie’s Chairman and CEO, Christian Vernet, attributes the extension to the popularity of the French Riviera among US travelers and latent demand in southern France for direct links to New York. The airline will use Airbus A321LR aircraft configured with an all-business class cabin for 76 passengers. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
