Transavia Logo

Transavia, a low-cost airline, operates out of the Netherlands and France and is an integral part of the Air France-KLM group. The airline came into existence in 1965 as a charter airline under KLM, primarily operating Boeing 737 aircraft.

The airline maintains a strong European presence with its scheduled flight services, facilitated through key hubs in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Paris Orly. Transavia’s primary base is the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, while Transavia France operates out of its head office at Paris-Orly Airport.

Transavia’s fleet is comprised entirely of Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft, all offering a single-class, economy cabin setup. The airline provides connectivity to over 100 destinations scattered across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, inclusive of several popular vacation spots surrounding the Mediterranean.

In line with its low-cost positioning, Transavia provides a no-frills service with additional options such as checked baggage, seat selection, and in-flight food and beverages available for an extra charge. This business model has proven successful, with the airline transporting over 19 million passengers in 2019, making it one of the largest low-cost carriers operating in Europe.

In the highly competitive low-cost airline market, Transavia squares off against rivals such as EasyJet, Ryanair, Vueling, and Wizz Air, primarily catering to leisure travelers within Europe. Despite the Dutch and French units functioning as separate airlines, they collectively contribute to the singular identity of the Transavia brand within the Air France-KLM group.
