First Transavia flight to Edinburgh
Yesterday, Transavia made its first flight via Rotterdam The Hague Airport to Edinburgh in Scotland. Edinburgh is one of Transavia's three new summer destinations that will depart from Rotterdam The Hague Airport, alongside Bilbao in Spain and Perugia in Italy.
Festive greeting
Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Transavia made the first flight to Edinburgh a special moment. Passengers were greeted festively in the departure hall. In addition, passengers received 'the green heart' from Transavia as a treat, a green can with heart-shaped mints and a special speech from our crew.
After landing in Edinburgh, passengers and crew were festively greeted by eleven Scottish boys who played Scotland's national instrument, the bagpipe. Our captain on this flight, William van Polen, had the honor of officially opening this new route with a ribbon cutting. “We have a long history of trading and exchanging a variety of knowledge and we are proud to have Edinburgh as our new destination,” he said as he cut the ribbon.
Edinburgh
The capital of Scotland is a city full of myths and legends. For example, you can visit Edinburgh Castle, where the Scottish Crown Jewels are on display. Edinburgh is not only the capital of Scotland, but also a leading festival city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. A short distance from Edinburgh you will find the beautiful Scottish highlands and the setting for the successful Harry Potter film series.
Transavia flies to Edinburgh four times a week: on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
