Transavia will welcome 10 million passengers in 2025
Transavia has reached a remarkable milestone: for the first time in its 60-year history, it has flown 10 million passengers in a single calendar year. This reflects the growing demand for air travel from the Netherlands.
The 10 millionth passenger, Mr. van Iersel from Tilburg, flew from Amsterdam to Seville on Friday afternoon, December 12th. At the gate, he was festively surprised with a travel voucher for his next vacation and personally congratulated by CEO Marcel de Nooijer, who celebrated this special milestone just before his departure at the end of December.
Smart investments and teamwork
The increase in passenger numbers is the result of targeted investments in stable operations, fleet innovation, and the trust of customers and partners. Transavia is renewing its fleet with more fuel-efficient and quieter Airbus A321neos, which can seat 232 passengers compared to 189 in the older Boeing 737. This results in greater capacity per flight and lower emissions per passenger.
Marcel de Nooijer, CEO of Transavia: "The fact that millions of Dutch people choose Transavia not only demonstrates the growing need to fly, but also the importance of keeping tickets affordable. We work hard on this every day, and we're proud to make flying accessible to over ten million people a year. This milestone is a fitting end to our anniversary year, but also a special moment to conclude my time at Transavia."
Outlook: growth and customer experience
Transavia is continuing to build a strong network from the Netherlands and Belgium, with new destinations and the opening of a home base in Brussels. At the same time, Transavia is taking responsibility by making its fleet more sustainable with more modern and quieter Airbus aircraft. This represents significant steps toward future-proofing the company to meet growing demand with a strong customer experience.
