La Compagnie adds Dusseldorf route and expands Airbus A321 fleet
French all-business-class airline La Compagnie is expanding its transatlantic footprint with a new route between Newark and Dusseldorf, Germany, scheduled to launch in the summer of 2027. To support this growth alongside existing services to France and Italy, the boutique carrier will lease a third Airbus A321LR arriving next spring and has committed to a longer-range A321XLR for 2028. For aspiring airline pilots, this steady fleet expansion at niche premium operators highlights alternative transatlantic career opportunities flying narrowbody equipment across the ocean.
