OpenSkies, the unique all business airline, operating nonstop flights between New York (Kennedy and Newark) and Paris (Orly) and between New York (Kennedy) and Amsterdam (Schiphol), celebrates the first anniversary of its inaugural launch.

Since OpenSkies first took flight on June 19, 2008, the airline has surpassed all expectations. OpenSkies has now transported more than 92,000 passengers* total on both routes. Through the airlines’ appealing two business class options (BIZ BED and BIZ SEAT), combined with accessibility from major airports and unbeatable pricing in business class, OpenSkies has quickly established itself as a unique, innovative travel experience for customers flying between New York and Paris or Amsterdam.

In a short period of time since its inception, OpenSkies has continued to remain meticulously focused in its commitment to provide unsurpassed service and value for travelers. Highlights of the company’s performance include:

On-time departure/arrival (Punctuality) rate of 92% for the New York/Paris and New York/ Amsterdam route for May 2009

Reliability (regularity) rate of 99% on the New York/Paris and New York/ Amsterdam route for May 2009

Dale Moss, Managing Director of OpenSkies, said: "I am proud of all we’ve accomplished and thank our customers for a good year in a tough market, as over 92,000 passengers have become familiar with the high quality of service and exceptional value offered by OpenSkies. Our company continues to gain market share which is a testament to our employees’ hard work. We look forward to continued growth in 2009 and beyond."

Backed by one of the world’s leading airlines, British Airways, OpenSkies was the first airline created as a result of the Open Skies agreement on March 30, 2008. Over the past year, OpenSkies has become a major contender in the transatlantic business class market. Today, OpenSkies has both a solid base of customers including individual passengers as well as travelers from major companies in the United States, France and Amsterdam, who recognize that in the current economy, the airline is an excellent option for superior business travel, at an exceptional value.
