A new actor Toulouse-Blagnac airport. From Monday October 3, 2022, the Norman company Chalair arrives in the Pink City to serve three destinations: Marseilles (mouths of the Rhone), Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) and reindeer (Ille et Vilaine).
Two round trips per week between Toulouse and Marseille
From Monday to Friday, two round trips will be made between Toulouse and Marseille:
- Toulouse – Marseille: 6:20 a.m. and 6:05 p.m.
- Marseille – Toulouse: 7:50 a.m. and 7:35 p.m.
There will be one round trip per day between Toulouse and Rennes:
- Toulouse-Rennes: 9:20 a.m.
- Rennes-Toulouse: 11:15 a.m.
Same between Toulouse and Nantes:
- Toulouse-Nantes: 2:30 p.m.
- Nantes-Toulouse: 4:20 p.m.
Alain Battisti, CEO of Chalair, indicates that the average price of a return ticket is around 105 euros including tax. Inevitably, the longer you delay booking, the more the price is likely to rise.
A business clientele but not only…
To make its connections, Chalair, which targets a business clientele but also leisure travellers, will use planes from Toulouse: the ATR 42/72. About fifteen employees work at the Toulouse base.
“These turboprop-type aircraft are particularly suitable for interregional connections. They are also ecologically virtuous, with 40% less carbon impact than jets of the same size, on journeys of less than 1h30 flight time.”
If success is there, the company does not rule out opening other lines and those already existing. “We are not forbidden to switch to planes with a hundred seats”, also slips Alain Battisti.
