In a significant boost to travel and tourism between Europe and Cabo Verde, Transavia, the Dutch low-cost airline of the Air France-KLM group, has announced a new route linking Lyon, France, to Sal Island. Beginning December 15, 2024, the route will operate weekly flights every Sunday, running until March 23, 2025. This strategic addition aligns with Transavia’s growing commitment to providing convenient travel options to key holiday destinations, offering a direct connection that is expected to strengthen ties between the French and Cape Verdean tourism markets.

The Lyon-Sal route is the latest addition to Transavia’s expanding portfolio, complementing its existing connections to Sal Island from Paris and Marseille. As Cape Verde continues to grow as a favored destination for European travelers, this new link underscores the airline’s commitment to supporting the demand for direct, affordable travel to the region. The route is particularly aimed at enhancing the accessibility of Sal Island, a destination renowned for its pristine beaches, water sports, and vibrant culture.

This service not only caters to leisure travelers but also supports the island’s economy by boosting tourism-related activities such as hospitality, excursions, and local businesses.

Key Details About the Service
• Launch Date: December 15, 2024
• Flight Schedule: Weekly flights every Sunday until March 23, 2025
• Route Fare: Tickets available starting at €139 (subject to availability)
• Booking Platform: Tickets can be booked directly on the airline’s website, providing a seamless booking experience for travelers.

This new route marks another milestone in Transavia’s Cape Verde operations, which began in 2021 with flights between Paris and Sal Island. The addition of Lyon now makes it the third French city to offer direct flights to Sal, highlighting Transavia’s position as a market leader in connecting Europe to popular holiday destinations.
By opening up more gateways, Transavia strengthens Cape Verde’s position as a competitive destination for European travelers, particularly during the peak winter season when warm-weather getaways are in high demand.
