Extension of Transavia's flight stop and exploration to start in June
Transavia has decided to cancel all scheduled flights until June 3. We previously announced that we would not operate the planned flights until May 27, this period will be extended by a week. Transavia is seeing a cautious relaxation of measures and restrictions in a number of countries. In addition, there are more passengers who feel the need to fly. From now on, it will be explored every week which routes and which dates in June are eligible for a possible start-up. We publish this, among other things, on our Transavia website.
Start exploration
From now on, Transavia will announce every week which routes will be cautiously restarted on which dates and which flights will be cancelled. “We have looked for a good balance between the necessary flexibility that this situation requires of us and the desire of passengers to travel again. This way, our passengers will know at least two weeks before departure whether their trip will continue and we give as many people as possible the opportunity to make their trip," says Marcel de Nooijer, CEO of Transavia. “We understand that there are also passengers who prefer more certainty for the longer term. We offer them the option to rebook the ticket for a later date without any change fees.”
Transavia sees that there is interest among customers to travel and there is a gradual relaxation of restrictions and restrictions in the Netherlands and entry regulations of other countries in Europe. Marcel de Nooijer: “Hotels and restaurants will open on a limited scale and visits to friends and family to meet each other abroad will become possible again more often. We are now slowly and carefully taking the first steps to make this possible again and bring people together. It goes without saying that the safety and health of our guests and employees has the highest priority.” More details about the hygiene and safety measures on board will be completed this week and published on the website.
