Transavia, the low-cost subsidiary of Air France-KLM, is continuing the expansion of its European network for the summer of 2027, following the launch of Pisa in 2026.
A weekend under the Renaissance frescoes, an escape to Puglia or a few days on the edge of a fjord: Transavia is adding new departure desires to its summer 2027 program. And for Parisian travelers, the most attractive novelty is undoubtedly Florence.
After launching Pisa in the summer of 2026, the Air France-KLM low-cost airline is this time getting closer to the treasures of Tuscany. From March 2027, it will connect Paris-Orly to Florence with 13 flights per week, or almost two daily rotations, with tickets priced from 41 euros one way.

A frequency that significantly changes the situation for a short stay: there is no longer any need to choose between a rare flight and a detour via Pisa or Bologna to reach the Tuscan capital. Florence thus becomes a much simpler destination to consider for three or four days, between Renaissance palaces, museums and trattorias.

Marseille and Nantes gain new lines
Provincial travelers are not forgotten. Marseille gains two new international destinations: Bari, gateway to Puglia, will be served twice a week (Thursdays and Sundays) from April 15, while Tirana will benefit from a weekly flight to the Albanian capital on Sundays from July 11. Prices will start at 48 and 49 euros one way, respectively.
In Nantes, Transavia will open a connection to Oslo every Tuesday from March 30, from 44 euros one way. The Nantes-Cairo line will also be extended during the summer season with a flight every Wednesday from 69 euros. “We want to offer our customers ever more travel possibilities and a varied choice of destinations,” underlines Julien Mallard, deputy general commercial director of Transavia France, citing “Florence or Bari” as well as “Nordic countries like Oslo” and “Albania, a booming destination”.
The company is also strongly strengthening its European offer from Orly, including 14 additional weekly flights to Rome, seven to Porto and Madrid, six to Barcelona, four to Berlin, three to Venice and Seville, and two weekly flights to Copenhagen.
With these openings, Transavia France announces more than 120 destinations for summer 2027. The entire program is now open for reservation.
