All-Premium airline La Compagnie has firmed up its operational timetable and operations for Winter 2021 from Newark, NJ, as the airline scales its operation back up.
What’s on the table?
Newark to Paris Orly
This route will return to a daily operation starting in November. Currently, it operates between four to five flights a week.
Newark to Tel Aviv via Tel Aviv
Whilst La Compagnie is advertising this as a new route that starts on the 4th of December, it is not a direct flight. Rather, you’ll be on the ground at Paris Orly for 1 and a half hours.
The route will operate twice a day. The route was due to be launched in the summer, but extended travel restrictions put paid to that.
Newark to Milan
We’re heading into next year territory, a La Compagnie will expand its European offering with direct service between New York and Milan with four flights per week from Newark International Airport (EWR) to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). This will start on 13th April 2022.
Newark to Nice
For those who prefer the south of France to the hustle and bustle of Paris, the Newark to Nice service will resume on 7th May 2022, with three weekly flights operating until September 27, 2022.

Christian Vernet, President of La Compagnie said
“The recent announcement from the U.S. government gives us better visibility on the resumption of activity. The entire team at La Compagnie is prepared and ready to fully tackle this rich program that we have been keen to put in place for the past few months. Utilizing the full capacity of our devices by broadening our horizons is not only essential but relevant when it comes to meeting the expected surge in demand from both the leisure and business markets,”
All Premium on an A321neo
La Compagnie recently migrated to an all-Airbus A321neo fleet, migrating from a Boeing 757-200 fleet. There are two aircraft in its fleet, with 76 flatbed seats per aircraft in a two by two layout. Onboard connectivity is provided by ViaSat for those who need to be connected in the air.
All La Compagnie tickets are now bookable at 100% Flex – changeable and refundable at no cost- up to 24 hours before departure.

Good to see…La Compagnie is another operation (like Porter) that I was afraid wouldn’t survive the pandemic.
