Transavia starts selling package holidays

Transavia has noticed for some time that many passengers opt for convenience and many passengers also indicate that they need certainty now during the Corona crisis, which means that Transavia is launching a suitable product for this target group. With Transavia Holidays, every booking is covered by the SGR guarantee. In this way, Transavia ensures that this group of Dutch people can go on holiday with a familiar feeling, even at this time.

Composing a holiday

With Transavia Holidays, holidaymakers can choose from a variety of accommodations, from small-scale hotels to holiday homes and boutique hotels. The new platform only offers accommodations with the best reviews from TripAdvisor. This way, everyone can put together their favorite holiday according to their own wishes and budget and Transavia makes holidays accessible to everyone. With the introduction of Transavia Holidays, Transavia is and will remain focused on collaboration with its partners to serve the travel market in the Netherlands. In this way, together with the partners, consumers can be offered the widest possible range.

Airtrade collaboration

Transavia Holidays is offered in collaboration with Airtrade. This means that when a holiday is booked with Transavia Holidays, the traveler enters into an agreement with Airtrade. As an organization, Airtrade is affiliated with ANVR and SGR, which guarantees a good insured trip.

Jeroen Martron, CEO Airtrade: “We are happy with this collaboration. Transavia is the second airline to use our technology in combination with our tour operator responsibility. The existing partnership with Transavia is thus strengthened. We believe Transavia Holidays has great potential and we are very much looking forward to this great collaboration.”

Marcel de Nooijer, CEO Transavia: “We would like to continue to develop our services to our passengers and see this as a suitable step to play a role in this dynamic and changing market as a strong travel brand. This new product completes our travel offering and allows us to respond even more to the needs of our passengers. We planned to go live around April 1st but pushed the date back to August. We notice that consumers are looking for trust, especially now. We have encountered significant challenges when starting our flight schedule that have affected our partners and passengers. We are sorry and fortunately it has been resolved for the most part. We can bring a large proportion of our passengers back to their destination. Of the passengers who were unable to travel due to corona, we have now offered 95% of our passengers the option of a refund or a voucher. And we are also working hard to further improve our service. That's why we decided this is a good time to go live. We have great confidence in the collaboration with Airtrade, which brings together technology and travel experience.”
