OpenSkies to fly JFK- Amsterdam starting October 15

OpenSkies, the premium-class British Airways spinoff that debuted last month with service between New York and Paris, today said it will add service to another city: Amsterdam.

Service between JFK and Amsterdam’s Schiphol International will start October 15, with tickets on sale sometime in August. Daily flights will depart Schiphol at 1:20 p.m. for a 3:35 p.m. arrival at JFK; the 8:05 p.m. departure from JFK will arrive at Schiphol at 9:40 a.m. the following morning.

OpenSkies, which carries just 82 passengers on its retrofitted 757, plans to add still more cities. Today’s press releases states: “Other European destinations being considered for the airline include Brussels, Frankfurt and Milan.”
