Transavia France continues its development. Invited this Tuesday at BFM Business, the CEO of Air France’s low-cost subsidiary, Nathalie Stubler, announced the arrival of “10 new aircraft in the summer of 2023”, which will bring the company’s fleet to 71 aircraft, while which had only 38. in 2019.
Thus, next summer will be marked by the delivery of the first A320 neo, which consume less fuel, which will allow Transavia to develop its offer with the opening of new destinations, including Izmir and Antalya in Turkey. However, the rest of the program has yet to be revealed.
Winter 2022 will be just as ambitious with supply doubling compared to 2019.
Transavia’s development at the heart of Ben Smith’s strategy
This growth of Transavia reflects the desire of the CEO of Air France-KLM, Ben Smith, to develop the low-cost tricolor subsidiary. The group’s restructuring plan initiated in recent months has also been built in this direction, by programming a reduction in the aerodynamic profile in the short radius of Air France to leave an open field for Transavia.
And the ambitions of the Canadian boss do not stop there. At the end of 2021, Air France-KLM announced a giant order of 100 aircraft for its companies KLM and Transavia. In 2019, Ben Smith also said that he wants to equip Transavia with up to 200 planes if the market allows it.
