AN exciting new route will be added to London Stansted’s departure boards next summer when Transavia launches flights to Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

The Dutch carrier, a member of the Air France KLM Group, will initially operate four flights a week starting April 3, 2025, increasing to five flights during peak summer to the city’s Rotterdam The Hague Airport.

Flights will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays (during peak summer), Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays using the airline’s Boeing 737-800 fleet with one-way fares from London starting at £37.

This service will also allow passengers to transfer onto the airline’s extensive route network that connects Rotterdam with 90 destinations across Europe and beyond, including Rome, Cyprus, and Dubai.

David Folkerd, London Stansted’s Head of Aviation and Business Development, said:

“We are delighted to announce the addition of another new destination and airline to London Stansted’s network, giving our passengers even more choice from their local airport. Rotterdam is a fabulous city to visit in its own right, and the added option of using Transavia’s extensive route network makes this new service even more exciting for travellers.”

Charles Verstegen, Lead Commerce Transavia, said:

“For Transavia, flying from Rotterdam to London is a reunion with the past. The British capital remains a popular destination for many, making it a welcome addition to our schedule.”
