ROTTERDAM NEW DESTINATION FOR LOW COST AIRLINE
- Basiq Air launches Stansted - Rotterdam and Dublin - Rotterdam routes -
Basiq Air, the low cost airline from Transavia airlines, has announced plans to launch a Stansted - Rotterdam route from Sunday 28 March 2004.
The Stansted - Rotterdam service will replace the airline's Stansted - Amsterdam service. The final date of travel for the Stansted - Amsterdam flight will be Saturday 27 March 2004. The confirmed early morning and evening flight times to Rotterdam and neighbouring Amsterdam will allow passengers to visit the city and its surrounding area for day trips, short breaks and holidays, in addition to appealing to business travellers. Basiq Air will be the only airline operating the Stansted - Rotterdam route.
The cost of the Stansted - Rotterdam flights will remain the same as the Amsterdam service, with return flights available from just £49 return inclusive of airport taxes, online credit card booking fee and reserved seating at check-in.
Basiq Air has also announced the launch of a new Dublin - Rotterdam route, currently not serviced by any other airline. This route will begin with a daily service from Sunday 29 February 2004. The cost of the Dublin - Rotterdam flight will be from 29.99 Euros one way, plus airport taxes and online credit card booking fee. Basiq Air includes reserved seating at check-in.
Rotterdam airport is close to the city centre and public transport. It is also just 45 minutes away from the city of Amsterdam. Gerard Helming, executive vice president marketing and sales, Basiq Air said: "There has been a growing demand among business and leisure travellers, particularly the youth market, for more flights to Rotterdam.
"Rotterdam is a great city, well known for its nightlife and café culture and attracts clubbers from all over Europe. The city offers easy access to Amsterdam and neighbouring cities such as The Hague and Delft."
These two new routes from the UK and Ireland are part of a major expansion plan for the airline within Europe, and will substantially intensify its activities at Rotterdam airport. With this expansion, Transavia has consolidated its leading position in the fast growing Dutch market for low-cost air travel.
Basiq Air has also announced the following new routes from Rotterdam and Amsterdam, launching on 29 February and 28 March 2004 respectively:
From Rotterdam: Berlin, Copenhagen, Gerona, Oslo, Stockholm
From Amsterdam: Venice, Verona
