Transavia expands its services to the Italian islands
Transavia’s summer season officially began today with the first flight from Eindhoven to Olbia (Sardinia). On arrival at the airport, passengers and crew were welcomed by local authorities with a traditional Sardinian treat. This summer, Transavia is further expanding its Italian network with new routes to Sardinia and Sicily.
By launching this route, Transavia is responding to the continuing demand for sun destinations in the Mediterranean. The Italian islands represent a key growth market in this regard: the number of flights to these destinations this summer is over 65% higher than last summer. Transavia is also expanding the number of routes from three to seven.
“Destinations in the Mediterranean region continue to grow in popularity,” says Olga Rijk, Lead Network & Resource Planning. “By expanding our network to the Italian islands, we are responding to this trend and offering our passengers more choice. By flying from several Dutch airports, we are making these destinations accessible to a wide range of travellers.”
With the addition of these destinations, Transavia is strengthening its position in Sardinia and Sicily. The new destination of Alghero completes the range of flights to Italy. The first flights depart on:
- April 2: Eindhoven – Olbia
- April 2: Amsterdam – Palermo
- April 6: Amsterdam – Alghero
- April 26: Rotterdam – Catania
In addition, this season Transavia is opening up a number of destinations – previously served exclusively by charter flights – to regular bookings. This will make these destinations accessible to a wider audience. The destinations in question are Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Antalya, Karpathos, Skiathos and Lesbos.
In total, Transavia will fly to 84 destinations on 128 routes within its scheduled network this summer.
