First Transavia flight to new destination Bilbao
After Transavia flew to Edinburgh for the first time last Thursday, the first flight to Bilbao in Spain was scheduled for Monday afternoon, March 2. Bilbao is one of Transavia's three new summer destinations that will depart from Rotterdam The Hague Airport, alongside Edinburgh in Scotland and Perugia in Italy.
Festive greeting
Transavia's third new destination this year, Bilbao, was extensively celebrated. In the departure hall, passengers were festively greeted with a green carpet and balloons. The passengers also received a nice gadget from Rotterdam The Hague Airport and were spoiled on board with a special speech from the crew and 'the green heart' of Transavia, a can filled with mints.
The route was also festively opened in Bilbao. The captain on this flight, Danny van der Houwen, cut a ribbon after arrival in Bilbao, together with Purser Desiree van Beek and Airport manager Christina Echeverria, to officially open the route. There were cakes for both the crew and the passengers to celebrate this joyful occasion together.
Bilbao
Bilbao is the largest city in the Spanish region of the Basque Country. The city is surrounded by forests, mountains, beaches and steep coasts. This region is mainly known for its many culinary delicacies. In the center you will be spoiled with the tastiest tapas and delicious Spanish wines. And there is more.
