A historic first flight for Aigle Azur between Orly and Beijing. Passengers were greeted with fanfare on landing after a 10 hour 45 minute journey. The French airline inaugurated the service on 5 September using an Airbus A330-200. This same model will operate the route three times a week and will be able to carry up to 19 passengers in business and 263 in economy class. Of these, 46 seats are in the "Economy Comfort" class.
" With this route, we are providing a new alternative to the existing service, for both business and leisure travellers. "Frantz Yvelin, Chairman of Aigle Azur since 2017, is delighted. " Aigle Azur will be the only airline to serve China from Orly airport. And we will do so with a range of products and services that meet the highest international standards. Our A330-200 aircraft are equipped with brand new cabins with a business seat that converts into a horizontal bed, menus prepared by 2-star Michelin chef Bernard Bach, and top-of-the-range comfort and service. We are convinced that this route will be a great success! "adds Frantz Yvelin.
