Transavia adjusts flight schedule for more stability
Transavia is taking extra measures for more stable planning and operations. The reservations had already been increased for the summer season and will be expanded again to provide certainty to holidaymakers, travel organizations and tour operators.
The reasons for the adjustments have been previously announced. Airplanes that are being phased in arrive too late and Transavia is also struggling with maintenance work overruns and long lead times to repair damage because the delivery of various aircraft parts has been delayed. There is also limited repair availability in the market.
More aircraft available
In recent weeks, Transavia has noticed that the number of aircraft that have to remain on the ground is steadily decreasing. Five of the company's aircraft are currently unavailable. More aircraft are expected to be deployed in the coming weeks.
To provide additional security, capacity will be reduced in June. More than 95 percent of the flights will operate according to schedule. Transavia has found a reasonable alternative for almost 80 percent of the affected passengers. Unfortunately, this was not possible for a limited group of passengers.
“We are building in more guarantees before the summer that a flight will continue to operate. Passengers and partners who book with us must be sure that they get the trip they want to make with our airline," says CEO Marcel de Nooijer of Transavia. “The fact that we are now adjusting the flight schedule ensures that there is clarity that everyone wants.”
Summer months
The flight schedule is also almost entirely flown during the summer months. As it stands now, less than 2 percent of flights will be changed in July and August. Passengers and partners will be informed about this soon.
We are grateful for the efforts that travel organizations and tour operators are making to work with us to ensure that many passengers can still go on holiday. We do not want to leave these efforts underexposed.
