“In the summer of 2027, the airline will add Ponta Delgada, Heraklion and Thessaloniki to its network. Tickets for these destinations will be on sale from 16 September. With these additions, Transavia responds to the growing demand from Belgian customers for affordable flights within Europe and to North Africa,” Transavia revealed today in a statement.

The Franco-Dutch company recently established a local crew base at Brussels Airport.

Connections in Mainland Portugal

Since 2022, Transavia has already connected Brussels to Faro and, at the beginning of this month, announced a new route between Brussels and Porto, with three weekly flights, starting on 14 December.

The low-cost airline has now announced a third connection from Brussels to Portugal: João Paulo II Airport in Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel, the largest in the Azores archipelago.

“Belgium is an important market for Transavia. Since we started operations at Brussels Airport, we have been building our presence in Belgium step by step. We started with two aircraft, added a third, and recently accommodated a fourth aircraft in Brussels,” said Transavia Netherlands CEO Paul Terstegge, quoted in a statement.

In the summer of 2026, the Azores will have operations from 16 airlines, 30 routes, and connections to 12 countries, revealed the Regional Secretary for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructure, Berta Cabral, in July.
