A pair of discount French carriers will launch service
between Newark and Paris Orly next summer.
French Bee and Corsair will fly the route daily, beginning
June 10.
The route will be French Bee's second to the U.S., joining
the San Francisco-Orly service it began in May 2018. Newark-Orly will also be
Corsair's second U.S. route, joining the Miami-Orly. Tickets for both services
go on sale Tuesday.
French Bee and Corsair join discount carrier Level and the
business-class carrier La Compagnie in the Newark-Orly market. United and XL
Airways fly to Paris Charles de Gaulle from Newark. Also, Air France, Delta,
American and Norwegian all fly to Paris from New York Kennedy.
French Bee flies Airbus A350s with a premium economy and an
economy section. Corsair's A330 and Boeing 747 aircraft have business, premium
and economy cabins.
