Wow: La Compagnie Launches Newark To Dusseldorf All-Business Class Flights

The French all-business carrier says the route will be its first with no direct competition and will use a new Airbus A321LR.

  • On September 7, 2026, French all-business class airline La Compagnie announced nonstop service between Newark Liberty International Airport and Düsseldorf Airport , launching April 21, 2027, with up to five weekly flights.
  • Christian Vernet, CEO of La Compagnie, stated the expansion responds to 'clear demand' in North Rhine-Westphalia, an economic region with 'deep and longstanding ties to the US' well suited to the airline's unique all-business-class model.
  • The 3,762-mile flight will utilize La Compagnie's newly delivered Airbus A321LR, featuring 68 business class seats in a 2-2 layout, with fares currently starting at around $4,000 roundtrip.
  • This route marks La Compagnie's fourth destination, complementing existing services to Paris Orly , Nice Côte d'Azur , and Milan Malpensa , while establishing the only transatlantic link from Düsseldorf.
  • Fleet expansion continues in 2028 with delivery of an Airbus A321XLR, while Düsseldorf's proximity to Belgium and the Netherlands positions the airport as a gateway for regional travelers beyond Germany.
