French airline La Compagnie requested permission to fly to Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Another European airline should soon be landing on Brazilian soil. After the recent flight approvals of European Cargo (UK) and Icelandair (Iceland), it is now the turn of the French airline La Compagnie.

Like the other airlines mentioned, La Compagnie has also submitted a request to the Brazilian authorities to operate non-scheduled flights to the country. The dates of the flights, destinations, or purpose are not yet known. Requests for flights can only be made once the qualification process has been completed.

La Compagnie is a boutique airline with a different appeal than traditional airlines. It operates two Airbus A321neo aircraft entirely in business class configuration and offers a superior experience to passengers who can afford the service.

Because of these characteristics, the company operates seasonally and on high passenger density routes, with departures from Paris to Nice, London, New York, Milan, and Tel Aviv, among others.

Its aircraft are configured for only 76 passengers, instead of the approximately 220 to 240 used by traditional airlines on the A321neo.
