As part of our Fleet Renewal Program, Orca Airways is proud to bring the First Direct Transatlantic Routes by a Dutch Airline
For most of the destinations, it is even the First Direct route Ever, using our brand new Boeing 707-320B
Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit and Toronto will start 5 days a week.
2 Weeks later this will be brought to every day of the week. Detroit will even be flown twice daily later in 1963.
New York will get their Transatlantic connections in 1963, with routes opening to JFK (twice daily) And Newark for those afraid to cross the Hudson River.
Meanwhile we also upgrade our African and Middle Eastern routes from the DC-6B to the faster and bigger Boeing 707-320B, also opening new routes to those continents.
We thank our passengers and our Partner airlines in the Bourgeoisie Worldwide Alliance for their continued trust in our airline.
