About OpenSkies / About us

OpenSkies is a unique airline operating direct flights between Paris (Orly Sud) and New York (Newark Terminal B) at very competitive rates.

Launched in June 2008, this premium subsidiary of British Airways combines the know-how of one of the biggest airlines in the world with the quality and commitment of a small airline that maintains a close relationship with its passengers.

On July 26, 2008, OpenSkies acquired L’AVION, the 100% business class French airline that was equally French and American with its concept of an attractively priced "private jet" experience.

The goal of OpenSkies is to offer a unique experience that combines comfort with quality, and personalized service with competitive rates. We now feature three cabins: Biz Bed, Biz Seat and Eco.

The three Boeing 757s that make up the fleet have been completely redesigned to offer a luxurious environment filled with comfortable materials and soft, warm colors in hues of beige, mauve, and gray.

Biz Bed offers seats that convert to completely flat beds (180° recline). Electronically controlled, these seats are equipped with universal electrical outlets and a personal entertainment system.
Biz Seat is equipped with large seats that recline to 140° with 52 inches of seat pitch. They are also equipped with universal outlets for your computer and a personalized video system.
Eco is a cabin with 11 rows of economy seating in a 3 x 3 configuration creating an intimate atmosphere. The leather seats in this cabin are equipped with an adjustable headrest and coat hook.

Quality service, an attentive crew, personalized cabins, fine dining, and a "private club" feeling —OpenSkies has brought together all the best to make your trip a unique experience. Welcome aboard!
