OpenSkies has signed a deal with French national railway SNCF to expand the existing TGV Air partnership.

Under the terms of the arrangement travellers from New York and Washington DC on OpenSkies will be offered connections to 14 major French cities via Paris Orly Airport.

Previously connecting OpenSkies passengers to Lyon and Nantes, TGV Air now opens up France to US travellers by adding 12 new stops.

Upon arriving at Paris Orly Airport passengers now have access to complimentary shuttle service to and from the Massy Train Station, where they will enjoy first-class, high-speed rail service to and from the following key destinations throughout France: Angers, Bordeaux, Le Mans, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Metz/Nancy, Nantes, Poitiers, Reims, Rennes, Strasbourg, Tours and Valence.

“TGV Air reinforces the unique positioning of OpenSkies and further expands our network beyond Paris to incredible destinations throughout all of France,” said Dale Moss, chief executive of OpenSkies.

“We are excited about deepening our partnership and encourage our customers to take advantage of this new offer’s flexibility.”

OpenSkies is an all business airline that offers flights from New York Newark Airport and Washington DC Dulles Airport to Paris Orly Airport.
