Transavia adds Paris-Orly–Málaga flights and grows its Spain seats by 7% this winter

What happened

Transavia’s French and Dutch subsidiaries have made Spain their main international market. In July and August, Transavia France carried more than 535,000 passengers to and from Spain, up 4%, and Transavia Netherlands sold 1.05 million seats, up 14%. Málaga was the Spanish destination with the highest sales at both subsidiaries: around 68,000 seats on the Paris-Orly–Málaga route and 87,000 on Amsterdam–Málaga.

For winter 2026-2027, the group is putting around 2.6 million seats to Spain on sale, roughly 7% more than last winter. Transavia France will increase frequencies from Paris-Orly to Málaga, Palma, Barcelona and Tenerife South, and Transavia Netherlands lists Málaga among its destinations with the highest expected sales, alongside Alicante and Gran Canaria.

What it means for your property in Málaga

More winter flights mean more demand in the months when a holiday let usually has gaps. French and Dutch travellers who come in the low season tend to look for stays of several days, so it is worth reviewing your minimum stay and weekly discounts from November to March rather than simply cutting the nightly rate.

It pays to have your listing translated and your house manual in French and English, and to check that your winter calendar is open with up-to-date prices. If those dates are blocked or still on summer rates, early bookings will go to other properties.
