For the occasion, as for the inauguration of a new route, the Boeing 737 was given a "water salute", a sign of the importance of this flight for the Paris hub. " The reopening of Orly is a symbol of the return of leisure activities and family and friends get-togethers, but also of a resumption of economic activity for an entire region.underlines Nathalie StublerCEO of Transavia. To celebrate this renewal, we decided to operate the first flight from Orly on our historic first Paris-Porto route. Today, we are proud to be the airline offering half of the destinations departing from Paris-Orly. "she continues.
These destinations are logically sunny, as the low-cost carrier is primarily targeting leisure customers. Nevertheless, of the fifty or so airports that the carrier will be serving this summer - i.e. 80% of its 'normal' schedule - also include top business destinations. Transavia flights from Orly to MadridAmsterdam and Algiers should also help to attract business customers.
