Transavia strengthens position at Brussels Airport
Transavia is taking the next step in Belgium. The airline recently established a fully operational local crew base at Brussels Airport. With this move, Transavia continues to invest in the Belgian market, local employment, and a future-proof presence in Belgium.
Since launching at Brussels Airport in 2022, Transavia has expanded its operations step by step. What began with a limited operation from the Netherlands has grown into a fully-fledged base with local colleagues, a growing network of destinations, and now four stationed aircraft.
"Belgium is an important market for Transavia," says Paul Terstegge, CEO of Transavia. "Since our start at Brussels Airport, we have built our presence in Belgium step by step. We started with two aircraft, added a third, and recently stationed a fourth aircraft in Brussels. With the opening of the fully local crew base, Brussels has become a full-fledged home base. We see that more and more Belgian customers are choosing Transavia and appreciate our product. We are therefore continuing to invest in an affordable and attractive offer, our people, and our network."
“The opening of this new crew centre and the further expansion of Transavia at Brussels Airport are an important signal of confidence in our airport and the Belgian market. Moreover, with local crew and a fourth stationed aircraft, Transavia continues to build on its growth in Belgium. This is not only good news for our passengers, but it also promotes the connectivity of our country and employment at the airport. We look forward to continued successful cooperation with Transavia,” says Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport.
With the addition of a fourth aircraft, Transavia is further expanding its offering from Brussels Airport. Starting December 14, Transavia will fly three times a week from Brussels to Porto. Tickets are now on sale. In the summer of 2027, the airline will add Heraklion, Ponta Delgada, and Thessaloniki to this route. These tickets will go on sale starting September 16. With this move, Transavia continues to respond to the demand from Belgian customers for affordable flights within Europe and to North Africa.
