According to a press release, Transavia made 420,000 seats available this summer between France and Portugal and 220,000 seats to/from the Netherlands and Belgium (Brussels).

“The Portuguese market continues to be a strategic market and a continued commercial success for Transavia, and the results in the 2024 summer peak are further proof of this position. At the same time, popular routes such as Porto – Paris-Orly, Lisbon – Paris-Orly or Faro – Amsterdam continue to be at the top of our customers’ preferences. We remain fully committed to this dynamic and improving market, a market that plays an important role in our own history, especially when it comes to our French operation”, says Nicolas Hénin, Chief Commercial Officer of Transavia France.

By route, Porto – Paris Orly (64,399 seats), Lisbon – Paris-Orly (50,719), Faro – Paris-Orly (30,879), Faro – Amsterdam (27,970) and Faro – Rotterdam (16,606) were the top five routes between Portugal and Transavia’s two home markets.

The occupancy rate of flights operated by the low-cost airline Air France/KLM in Portugal was, on average, 90%, which means that it remained “identical to that seen in the same period in 2023”, with emphasis on the routes Lisbon – Rotterdam (97%), Porto – Amsterdam (97%), Lisbon – Eindhoven (95%), Lisbon – Amsterdam (94%) and Faro – Amsterdam (94%).

At the end of the summer, Transavia adds, sales are taking place late but are “on the rise”, with the airline also indicating that it is seeing a “3% increase in occupancy in September, compared to the same period last year”.

“In this regard, we would like to highlight the strong demand for tickets for the new connection between Porto and the magnificent Bordeaux, a service that was launched on 13 December with 2 weekly flights (Mondays and Fridays) and fares starting from 34 euros (one way)”, Transavia also highlights.
