Earlier I wrote about how Corsair plans on launching daily flights between Paris and Newark as of June 10, 2020. This is an interesting route for a leisure French airline to launch, especially as they’ll be the ninth airline to fly between Paris and the New York area.

I live in Newark and I look forward to $99 flights to Paris! Will be cheaper than getting to Boston.
Corsair and French Bee are most certainly launching these flights as they'll get those highly valuable slots that are now available after french airline Aigle Azur went burst last week. Expect Air France to add a frequency from Orly to New York too.
A few other routes should be announced from Paris Orly too.
Lucky, A tad off topic, but I'd love to learn more about Reunion. Seems to me it's really underappreciated in relation to Mauritius and similar destinations. Maybe that's because there's no real presence of the big hotel groups and most airline alliances with the exception of Air France. Might be a place to consider checking out via a more obscure airline, perhaps a trip including Madagascar?!
Looks like fares will be staying low on this route, let’s rejoice!
There’s up to 14 daily flights from NYC To Paris right now, without even including this flights, that’s crazy.
Air France is using 2 a380’s on the route and Delta even doubles their capacity in the summer.
Plus United flies the 787-10 and a 767 (summer seasonal).
Level and Norwegian will have to go head to head with the new guys. In my opinion this route has too many seats for those who can’t connect passengers and even possibly Delta and Air France, since Delta flies to Paris from 10 other airports around the country.
Currently looking at flights and I don’t know why someone would choose to fly either of these new airlines.
Delta and United both have competitive prices and service to CDG. I gotta say we flew to Rome on Norwegian and has a good experience. Even Norwegian serves CDG.

What am I missing?
@Myles Level Airlines. Yet another French leisure airline. Have good availability and prices from LAS to ORY though.
Level is indeed (or probably) a leisure airline, but not a French one. It's a low-cost long-haul subsidiary of Iberia, which is composed of BA, IB, IE, and VY. Level's operations out of ORY are the successor for the OpenSkies brand of IAG. IAG itself is an Anglo-Spanish holding company registered in Madrid and HQ'ed in London.
"Paris Orly to Newark departing 2:00PM arriving 4:15PM" Great!
Paris ORLY Airport is the Parisians 'favorite airport (and much older & smaller than Paris CDG) as it is very close to Paris (South of Paris)
29 minutes from the center of Paris to Orly airport.
