It is a map published in the newspaper “La Tribune” a few days ago which revealed the information. Drawn up from an internal document of the Air France group obtained by the economic daily, this map of the future domestic routes of the low-cost company Transavia included Pau in its web, for a rotation to Paris Orly.
Resumption of Pau-Orly in September
Asked this Thursday, August 13, the director of the airport, Thierry Souchet, confirms the information. “Transavia has indeed announced its arrival in Béarn. But we do not expect their Boeing 737s to land before 2021 or 2022. The deadline is 2023 at the latest”, underlines the manager, who works for the delegatee Air’Py, responsible for the operational management of the airport platform, owned by SMAPP (Pau Pyrénées airport mixed union).
Today, Air France will resume services to Orly from the beginning of September. The national company should lift the veil on its fall calendar at the end of August. For the moment, Air France operates three rotations per day between Pau and Charles-de-Gaulle. The objective at the beginning of September is to increase to nine flights per day, with the reopening of Pau-Lyon and Pau-Orly in addition.
Orly-Tarbes Lourdes very threatened
The arrival of Transavia is part of a new organization of the Air France group, hit hard by the Coronavirus crisis like the entire airline sector.
Other information revealed in recent days, this time in the “Figaro” salmon notebook, Air France is considering closing the Orly-Tarbes Lourdes line. Travelers from Bigorre would be invited to go to Pau. It is true that the planes are ringing very hollow at present in Ossun as in Uzein. And no one is able to say when that will change.
