Air France, easyJet … here is the airlines’ gradual restart program

The catch-up attempt started in the sky, for the summer vacation. In France, it’s Air France which drew the first, before its main competitors and its subsidiary Transavia. It has published its planning for the resumption of flights from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle since this week. Orly Airport will reopen on June 26. Of 43 destinations currently sporadically served, generally a few times a week to repatriate passengers authorized to travel, the national company will increase to 100. With a ramp-up throughout the month of June.

It is obviously the domestic network that will benefit first from this upturn with a significant increase in shuttles and the resumption of flights to most of the stopovers served from Roissy. The same ramp-up for the Antilles with Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe), for example, which will drop from three to seven flights per week on June 22, despite the uncertainty that still dominates over the accessibility of the DOM-TOM. The opening towards European ports of call will be made as borders are opened.

The national company is in any case ready to immediately set up significant frequencies on its entire European network. For the moment, the company is far from its normal capacities since only 75 planes are used for a fleet which counts 224. The site Airfrance.fr offers more information. Under the Information, flight info, all timetables tab, a table shows the evolution of the flight calendar week by week.

18 metropolitan destinations for easyJet

The Air France subsidiary, Transavia, announces for its part a resumption of operations from June 15 from Nantes and Lyon to Lisbon, Faro and Porto, in Portugal which impatiently awaits tourists, from June 26 from Orly to thirty destinations. Also from June 26 departing from Montpellier to Lisbon and Faro; Palermo (Italy); Athens and Heraklion (Greece); and Seville (Spain).

EasyJet, in a press release just announced the takeover of 18 metropolitan destinations. Flights operated between two and five times a week.

The English company will also open its Nantes-Geneva 5 times a week and Bordeaux-Geneva 4 times a week on June 15.
