Transavia to launch flights to Dakar from Toulouse and Bordeaux this winter

As the French market prepares to take advantage of the fine weather, Transavia is looking ahead to the winter season. Air France's low-cost subsidiary announced a number of new services on Wednesday. And business travellers will benefit from a strengthened offer on the France-Senegal. From 31 October, Transavia will be operating on the Bordeaux-Dakar. Two flights a week will be operated every Tuesday and Friday.

Another new feature: Transavia will also be operating between Toulouse and Dakar from 29 October, with a programme currently limited to one weekly flight, operated every Sunday. The airline has its sights set on the Senegalese market, which will also benefit from another announcement: the extension of the Marseille-Dakar line on the winter programme.

As for Paris, while the planned openings at Orly are aimed at the leisure market - Aqaba (Jordan), Praia and Sao Vicente (Cape Verde) - several route renewals may be of interest to business customers. Transavia will be extending its services to Oslo, Alicante and Venice. " Always attentive to our customers' needs, we are delighted to be able to offer them the opportunity to plan their winter holidays to an even wider range of destinations. "says Nicolas Hénin, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing at Transavia France.
