PURCHASE, N.Y., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of its second anniversary today, Eos Airlines, whose "Uncrowded" travel experience has captured the loyalty of premium trans-Atlantic travelers, announced it will begin flights between New York's JFK and Paris, and Newark and London Stansted Airports in 2008.

"Eos Class service is coming to Paris and Newark, and so is an end to making compromises in air travel," pronounced Jack Williams, Eos Airlines CEO. "Our Guests tell us that 'Uncrowded' is the only way they want to travel, so we have expanded our operations to other destinations to meet the demand. These new routes are great markets and also represent a path to profitability for our investors."

With its proven business model, Eos' success has sparked a host of imitators, from single-class "start-ups" to established legacy carriers attempting to copy many aspects of Eos Class. None have been able to match the industry-leading "Uncrowded, Uncompromising" travel experience. Eos flies the world's only Boeing 757 aircraft configured with just 48 "suites," ensuring a superb end-to-end travel experience for its Guests, and encompassing every detail from superior baggage handling to curbside assistants who personally escort guests through the check-in process. It has also led the field with the best on-time performance between New York and London for 18 months running. This unprecedented attention to detail has resulted in an unparalleled 97% Guest satisfaction rating.

Eos will add flights between Newark International Airport and Stansted Airport in Spring 2008. This new route acknowledges that New Jersey-based premium travelers and corporations have been eager for Eos to add flights that depart from Newark, and will expand on Eos' schedule to 58 flights per week between the New York metropolitan area and London. Flights between New York and Paris are expected to commence in Fall 2008. Details of initial ticket sale dates and schedules will be announced in the coming months.
