More routes between airports in the VINCI Airports network
VINCI Airports’ international network connects regions and multiplies opportunities. This fall, this network strength is reflected in the opening of several routes in Europe and West Africa.
Cabo Verde: strengthened links with Portugal and France
In Cabo Verde, TAP is expanding its connections with Portugal, linking Porto to Sal island since July, and to Santiago island, where Praia airport is located, starting in October. Since October 30, São Vicente has also been connected to Nantes every Friday with Transavia, complementing existing flights to the islands of Boa Vista and Sal.
United Kingdom: new connections to Budapest, Madeira and the Alps
In the UK, easyJet will connect Belfast International to Budapest from November 17, with two flights per week between mid-November and early January.
With two weekly flights, Jet2 has been connecting London Gatwick to Funchal, on the island of Madeira, since October 28. And for the winter season, London Gatwick will also be linked to Lyon with TUI Airways and to Chambéry with British Airways, facilitating access to the ski resorts of the French Alps from December.
France: resumption of the Clermont-Ferrand – Porto connection
Since November 6, the airline Volotea has been connecting again Auvergne to Portugal with two weekly flights between Clermont-Ferrand and Porto, offering 33 900 seats and 190 flights in total.
A development carried out in close collaboration with the airlines
These new routes are the result of close and ongoing collaboration with VINCI Airports’ more than 300 partner airlines. Together, the teams identify development opportunities, analyse markets (data usage, geography, traffic patterns, travel reasons, etc.) and support the ramp-up of the routes.
A constant focus on the passenger experience
Each new route aims to offer a simple, seamless journey tailored to different travellers profiles. This is especially true when both the departure and arrival airports belong to the VINCI Airports network, ensuring continuity in the quality of service offered to passengers. This approach is implemented through the deployment of innovative services, and a retail and dining offering tailored to passenger expectations.
Each airport in the network thus adapts its infrastructure and services to combine operational performance and passenger experience.
