Transavia France takes off from Montpellier with new base and routes

Transavia France opened its new Montpellier Méditerranée base on 26 June and began its first two routes on that date: a 975-kilometre service to Palermo, and a 1,247-kilometre operation to Faro.

Both destinations are served twice-weekly.

Transavia France’s fourth base in France

Montpellier is Transavia France’s fourth base in the country, and it was due to open in April – but its launch was understandably pushed back given coronavirus.

This summer, Transavia France will base two B737-800s at Montpellier Méditerranée.  Because of coronavirus, the carrier will initially operate 15 routes this summer – down from the planned 20.

Lisbon began on 28 June on a three-weekly basis, while Athens (twice-weekly), Heraklion (twice-weekly), and Porto all begin this week as Transavia France ramps up to its 15 summer routes.
