Transavia, the Air-France-KLM subsidiary, has successfully expanded its presence in Hérault with the addition of three new destinations: Istanbul (Turkey), Rabat (Morocco), and Oran (Algeria). Montpellier has now become the group’s hub for the Mediterranean market, with a total of 14 destinations served in nine countries.
This summer, Transavia is offering an additional 20,000 seats from Montpellier and aiming for an 80% occupancy rate. The Istanbul route, which will operate twice a week, is already seeing high demand. In 2023, the airline transported 284,000 passengers from Montpellier and aims to reach 340,000 tickets in 2024.
In addition to expanding its services from Montpellier, Transavia is also focusing on the development of the Montpellier-Paris-Orly line. Emmanuel Brehmer, director of the airport, highlights the upcoming benefits of the Paris metro’s Line 14 extension to Orly. This will provide easy access to the center of Paris at a lower cost than taking the TGV.
Transavia is also launching a new service from Toulouse to Dubai and plans for further expansion in the coming months. The airline is committed to providing affordable and convenient travel options for passengers both domestically and internationally.
