OpenSkies (Paris Orly) is mulling the launch of flights to Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami International and Chicago O'Hare during the course of this year. Having now joined the "Atlantic Joint Business" initiative set up by parent British Airways (BA, London Heathrow) and fellow Oneworld members American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) and Iberia (IB, Madrid Barajas), Open Skies is attempting to expand in the heavily competitive transatlantic market whose poor load factors forced the British Airways subsidiary to abandon its all-business-class model in favour of a mixed business/premium-economy/economy class cabin setup. In the long run, OpenSkies CEO Patrick Malval aims to replace the airline's three ageing B757-200s by the more fuel efficient Boeing 737 MAX or Airbus A321neo, though in the interim, the airline expects to have to make do with an undisclosed number of British Airways' B767-300s.
