Transavia France is to expand at Stockholm Arlanda Airport by launching a new direct route to Marseille. This will further establish the French low-cost carrier’s presence at Stockholm Arlanda and meet the increased demand for direct routes to the French riviera.
The new route will be served twice a week, starting on 6 June 2024.
Marseille: History Meets Riviera’s Charm
The planned network addition not only reinforces the French low-cost carrier’s footprint at Stockholm Arlanda, but also caters to the escalating demand for connections to the picturesque French Riviera.
Marseille, the second largest city in France, beckons with its allure of stunning beaches, a tapestry of rich history, and a vibrant cultural scene.
The city stands as a testament to the fusion of the old and the new, where ancient landmarks coexist harmoniously with modern influences.

A Hub of Trade and Commerce
Beyond its reputation as a leisure destination, Marseille is a pivotal center for trade in the region and proudly holds the title of France’s main commercial port.

Transavia’s commitment to connecting Stockholm Arlanda to Marseille serves not only the leisure traveler but also the business community, fostering greater connectivity in both realms.
