Transavia, the low-cost subsidiary of the Air France-KLM group, is accelerating its expansion into North Africa and Southern Europe, with Morocco emerging as a central focus of its 2026 summer strategy.
The airline aims to strengthen connections, respond to growing demand, and reinforce its position in the European market.
The carrier announced a new route linking Rennes-Bretagne to Marrakech, operating twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays from next summer, with fares starting at €59 one-way. This complements the extended service between Brest-Bretagne and Marrakech, initially seasonal, now running until October 31.
These measures reflect Transavia’s commitment to increasing Moroccan destinations in its network and enhancing connectivity from regional French airports.
Transavia’s approach relies on close cooperation with the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT). Together, the partners plan to launch 14 new routes in summer 2025, offering more than 130,000 additional seats—a 30% increase in capacity between France and Morocco.
Joint marketing campaigns will promote Morocco’s cultural, natural, and coastal attractions to European travelers.
The airline is also prioritizing secondary French airports, including Lille, Biarritz, Deauville, Montpellier, and Nantes, linking them to key Moroccan cities such as Marrakech, Agadir, Essaouira, Ouarzazate, Dakhla, and Errachidia.
Marrakech will host two locally based aircraft for the first time, while Agadir will become a seasonal hub, reflecting a strategic shift from the airline’s traditional focus on French bases.
While Morocco remains central to its plans, Transavia is also boosting European routes. From Paris-Orly, weekly flights to Stockholm will rise from six to ten, Venice from seven to 14, and Madrid from 28 to 34.
New destinations include Sarajevo, Pisa, Araxos, and Burgas, reinforcing the airline’s ambition to serve underrepresented European markets.
By diversifying entry points in Morocco and targeting regional airports, Transavia aims to meet growing tourist demand and cater to the diaspora seeking direct flights. Summer 2026 marks a pivotal moment for the airline as it strengthens its role as a key bridge between France and Morocco while consolidating its European network.
