The inaugural flight postponed yet again: is there a pilot onboard “La Compagnie”?

It’s a bit like the “unseen character”, this Compagnie Boutique Airlines.

Planned for last July 11th, the inaugural flight of this new airline Compagnie, only Business Class, with flabbergasting prices, (€1776 tax included for two people), linking Paris Roissy CDG to New York (Newark), was finally postponed to July 15th, meaning today. (at the time the original article was written - translator’s note.)

Here’s the explanation provided by the embarrassed communication service: an authorization of the american aeronautic authorities did not come in time.

Surprising, especially because nobody was able to precisely tell us which authorization was missing.

Alas! Finally, it is a worried customer who contacted us… In fact, the inaugural flight that was supposed to take place on that day was once again postponed.

Exhausted, according to the criteria of the company’s website.

Let’s admit this story seems strange.

This time, according to the company’s spokespersons, the famous authorization has finally arrived…

However, and I’m quoting “we preferred postponing the flight to Thursday July 17th in order to modify certain elements of the cabin to provide more comfort to our passengers”, explains a spokesperson of La Compagnie.

Try to understand that.

According to some, it may be that this old airplane might be undergoing a rejuvenating cure.

Unless it’s yet another money issue.
