PARIS — French airline La Compagnie (B0) has detailed its first winter schedule between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), extending the previously seasonal route through winter 2026–27.
Nice Airport announced the year-round extension on June 16. The airline's November 5 release provides a newer timetable, with different departure details from the airport's initial announcement.
La Compagnie lists up to five weekly Nice flights in peak season, compared with two in winter. With 76 lie-flat business-class seats in a 2-2 layout aboard its Airbus A321neo aircraft, the regular winter schedule equates to 152 seats a week in each direction, calculated from the published frequency and cabin configuration. Special departures add to that total.
Winter Schedule
According to the airline's November timetable, flights are scheduled to leave Newark on Mondays and Thursdays at 20:30, arriving in Nice at 10:20 the following day. Return flights leave Nice on Tuesdays and Fridays at 13:00, reaching Newark at 15:30. All times are local and subject to change.
A special Sunday departure from Newark is scheduled for November 29, 2026, for travelers attending the ILTM luxury travel event in Cannes. The airline also lists Newark departures on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
“We want to make the Riviera accessible to American travelers throughout the year,” said Christian Vernet, La Compagnie's president and CEO.
Network and Fleet Plans
La Compagnie launched commercial service in 2014, added Nice in 2019 and Milan in 2022. Its current European network connects Newark with Paris-Orly (ORY), Nice and Milan Malpensa (MXP). Lounge access is included, with the airline's dedicated Lounge&Co at Newark.
The winter extension precedes La Compagnie's planned Newark–Düsseldorf expansion. Düsseldorf Airport lists an April 21, 2027 launch; the airline plans up to five weekly flights during summer. Düsseldorf (DUS) would become its fourth European destination from Newark.
In its November release, La Compagnie said its expansion plans include the arrival of a third aircraft, an Airbus A321LR, in 2027, followed by an A321XLR in 2028.
