On October 25, 2005, EOS Airlines official inaugural flight took off one week after a series of pre-inaugural flights. Directed toward the business traveler, EOS operates custom outfitted Boeing 757 aircraft with seating for just 48 passengers. EOS, which means Greek goddess of the dawn, is offering a level of service unlike any other in the industry. If you book a flight on EOS Airlines, here is what you can expect, besides paying a premium price: While the price certainly seems steep, keep in mind that prices rival what passengers had paid on Air Frances and British Airways super sonic transport [SST] Concorde before it was pulled from the market in June of 2003. In lieu of a jet that can match the SSTs speed, EOS has created a level of service and comfort that exceeds the Concorde. In other words, EOS Airlines is attempting to fill a void created when the SST was pulled from the market. As with any new air carrier, success is never guaranteed. However, by concentrating on business travelers who frequent the NY to London bridge EOS Airlines just may have found a special place for itself within the business community. With no new SST on the horizon, privately held EOS has created a viable alternative to business jet travel and at a price far lower than chartering a Gulfstream 550. |
