La Compagnie Business-Class Airline and Viasat Will Offer Unlimited High-Speed Wi-Fi to All Passengers
La Compagnie, a boutique airline operating on the New York-Paris route, has selected Viasat to equip two new business-class aircrafts with high-speed Wi-Fi capabilities. Deployment of the new in-flight service is scheduled for April 2019, providing passengers the option to access free unlimited Wi-Fi, said the company.
“We are excited to offer unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi to all the passengers onboard our new aircraft,” said Jean Charles Périno, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing for La Compagnie. “Viasat’s in-flight connectivity has unmatched speed, quality and affordability so everyone onboard can experience the internet just like they do in their home or office. Business-class democratization is in our DNA. This is a perfect match with Viasat’s solution: we will be offering this unlimited Wi-Fi access at a fraction of the cost of competitive solutions, following our low-fare approach. We are proud, as a small airline, to have the best in the market to offer to our passengers.”

Launched in July 2014, La Compagnie is an exclusively business-class airline operating regularly scheduled transatlantic flights between New York (Newark International Airport) and Paris (Charles de Gaulle). Offering competitively low business-class fares, La Compagnie is outfitted with 74 lie-flat seats and provides thoughtful amenities including Samsung Galaxy Tablets, Caudalie cosmetic kits and a unique dining experience offering fresh menu items by renowned New York and Paris based chefs.
La Compagnie has introduced “Relax Onboard”—an in-flight program designed to create the most serene and relaxing experience at 30,000 feet. The wellness program encompasses guided in-flight meditation, thoughtful products to quench parched skin, a new calming safety video, and healthy snacks and beverages to ensure travelers are wrapped in a relaxing cocoon from the moment they step onto their flight, all the way to their final destination.
The calm and mindful atmosphere aboard La Compagnie’s new aircrafts begins with a safety video like no other. Led
by yogis and filled with relaxing music, the instructional video guides passengers through the safety requirements with
the gentleness and serenity of yoga, which has been proven to fight anxiety, depression and stress, as well as help
reduce inflammation in the body.

Beyond the safety instructions, travelers can experience a myriad of offerings from take-off to touch-down including:
MEDITATION WITH PETIT BAMBOU
To work on not only the well-being of the body but also of the mind, La Compagnie has partnered with Petit Bambou,
a mindful meditation application available on the aircraft’s entertainment system. The guided meditation exercises are
specially designed to help with air travel and to address in-flight stress triggers such as taxiing, take-off, turbulence,
cruising, descent and landing.

RADIANT SKIN WITH CAUDALIE
On long-haul flights, altitude and cabin pressure tend to dehydrate the skin. Caudalie, a privileged partner of La
Compagnie since its inception, ensures that its passengers’ skin remains quenched throughout the flight by providing
them with moisturizing products in 15ml format for the face and hands. Throughout the month of February, in addition
to the usual products available onboard, passengers will also find Caudalie’s Eau de Beauté, which is enriched with
essential oil and plant extracts to help maintain skin radiance and stimulate microcirculation.
