Finally, three days of sun in Paris. Now I am not complaining about having to live in Paris because it is such a fantastic city, but it really is nice to see the sun for a few of days in a row! Guess I shouldn’t complain about the weather after the winter New York has had? Spring is on the way though, for both cities. It may take its own sweet time but it will be here later this month (thank goodness). As the seasons swing and winter gives rise to spring, so hopes rise too. The world is still not as steady a place as we would like, but it’s slowly improving all the time, and that works for us.
It’s less than two months to go before we start our new Washington D.C. – Paris service and everyone here is all excited. Seems a lot of our customers are too. The bookings are quite strong at the moment. This pattern is most encouraging, especially considering we are just starting to ramp up our commercial activities. When I think about it… for a small company like OpenSkies to have now 29% market share between New York and Paris is pretty special and we are not even close to peaking. I am hopeful our ‘More for Less’ proposition is starting to resonate with customers more every day. As I have said before, the time is right for us now and we need to seize it.
Bill and Arch mentioned the radio program I was supposed to be on, and I had planned to make it to my brother’s radio show in Washington D.C. last month but mother nature prevailed. D.C. was literally snowed over. I am scheduling to make it back there later this month. We are currently planning to fly one of our aircraft to IAD on March 24th for a few hours for some press and travel trade to see for themselves what the product looks like. Now I may be prejudiced but I think the aircraft looks better in real life, I can’t wait to see their faces!
Please continue to tell your friends, family and colleagues in the D.C. area, there’s a better way to get to Paris from May 3rd. Encourage them to join our Facebook fan page.
Best,
