How it started
History
Transavia France was established as transavia.com France on 14 November 2006 by Air France and the Dutch airline Transavia (transavia.com in those times) and began flight operations in May 2007, both scheduled and charter flights.
Transavia France chiefly operates scheduled and charter services to leisure and some metropolitan destinations and is now positioned as part of Air France-KLM's joint low-cost brand which operates under the Transavia name in both the Netherlands and France. By early 2015, Transavia France, together with its Dutch sister company, received a new corporate design, dropping the ".com" from its public appearance as well as changing its primary colors from white/green/blue to white/green. In 2013 Antoine Pussiau was the CEO since January. Natalie Stubler, as CEO of Transavia France from 2016-2022, expanded the number of destinations and the fleet.
In 2018, Transavia France decided to further expand its base at Lyon Airport and at Nantes Airport with the addition of more based aircraft and the expansion of the existing routes.
In November 2019, Transavia France stated that it would open a new base in Spring 2020 at Montpellier–Méditerranée Airport with a plan to serve 20 routes by the end of that year.
