Eos prepares to launch Stansted-Newark route

Business-class-only carrier Eos Airlines is preparing to launch its new route between Stansted Airport and Newark, with a new 'introductory fare' being offered on the service.

The new connection between Stansted and Newark will launch on May 5th this year.

Travellers who book a round-trip ticket online before April 11th and for travel to be completed before September 7th will receive a ten per cent discount.

Eos uses Boeing 757 aircraft fitted with 48 suites to operate its flights and claims to be "the transatlantic carrier that invented uncrowded, stress-free air travel".

The addition of Newark as a destination will bring Eos' number of weekly flights between London and the New York metropolitan area to 58.

People flying from Stansted Airport already have access to John F Kennedy Airport in New York with Eos and American Airlines.

Travellers heading to America may be more likely to depart from Heathrow Airport, however, which offers services to destinations including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
