Transavia is restarting flights from Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Eindhoven Airport

Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Transavia welcomed the first passengers back to the airport for the flight to Faro this morning at 7:50 am for the first time in twelve weeks. In addition to our passengers and crew, our COO Petra de Ruiter also came on board. “I think it is important to welcome our crew back and to see and experience for ourselves how this adapted way of traveling is felt and experienced. Not only by our crew but of course also by our passengers. We are happy that we have started up and are making travel to beautiful destinations possible again from the region.”

In addition to Faro in Portugal, from June 18, Rotterdam The Hague Airport will fly to Malaga, Alicante and Ibiza in Spain and Split in Croatia. From July 2, 22 more destinations will be added, such as Corfu, Kos and Heraklion in Greece, Perugia in Italy and Valencia, Mallorca and Girona in Spain.

Eindhoven Airport has not been closed. With the start of Transavia flights to Faro and Lisbon in Portugal, Barcelona, Malaga, Alicante, Ibiza and Valencia in Spain and Bologna in Italy, more destinations can now also be reached from that region. From July 2, twelve more destinations will be added, such as Zakynthos, Heraklion and Kos in Greece and Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Mallorca in Spain.

The number of destinations and the frequency will further increase per week in the months of July and August. However, Transavia emphasizes that any tightening or adjustment of restrictions in countries due to the coronavirus may mean that adjustments to the flight schedule are necessary.

Safety on board

Transavia takes various additional measures to make flying as safe and healthy as possible, such as extra cleaning of the aircraft and reducing mutual contact. Passengers and crew will wear facial protection (nose and mouth) on all flights, further reducing the already low risk of spreading the coronavirus.
