Transavia touches down in Edinburgh

Transavia Rotterdam to Edinburgh

A traditional Scottish pipe band marks the launch of Transavia’s new Rotterdam to Edinburgh flights on 27 February. The route will operate twice weekly.

• Transavia on 27 February added Edinburgh Airport from Rotterdam The Hague Airport. This marks the return of Transavia to the UK, with its last service to London Gatwick in 2010. (Transavia France, meanwhile, last operated to the UK in 2019 with Paris Orly – Edinburgh.)

Rotterdam – Edinburgh will operate initially on Thursdays and Sundays, before moving to four times weekly in April, with no direct competition on the route. However, Amsterdam Schiphol sees a total of 42 weekly flights from Edinburgh, with KLM (28 weekly flights) and easyJet (14 weekly) both operating on the route. The catchment area covering Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam is Europe’s fourth-largest by GDP, with Rotterdam home to the largest port in Europe.
