Transavia surprises passengers with its own tulip
A warm welcome and a colorful gesture on Thursday, April 10 at Schiphol: passengers arriving on a Transavia flight from Skopje, North Macedonia, were surprised with a bouquet of tulips. This year, Transavia is celebrating its 60th anniversary, marking the milestone with, among other things, the introduction of its very own tulip.
The tulip, officially named Premier Amour (“first love”) and nicknamed ‘Transavia’, symbolizes the special experiences that often become lifelong memories. Think of a first holiday, a first flight, or even a first holiday romance. With its fresh and vibrant colors, the flower not only reflects a rich aviation history and Dutch pride but also a positive outlook on Transavia’s future.
Official naming ceremony at the Amsterdam Tulip Museum
The official naming ceremony took place earlier this week in the heart of Amsterdam, at the Amsterdam Tulip Museum. A special group of employees attended the event: colleagues born in 1965—the year Transavia was founded—and young talents who represent the airline’s future.
Thanks to the daily dedication and passion of Transavia’s employees, the airline has thrived for six decades. This special occasion offered a moment to thank them for their valuable contributions, which are essential to the company’s ongoing growth and success.
Skopje
Since March 2, 2025, Transavia operates two weekly flights to Skopje, on Thursdays and Sundays. Transavia is the only airline connecting Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with the capital of North Macedonia. The new route is served by the Airbus A321neo, which offers space for 232 passengers.
