Dutch low-cost operator Transavia has unveiled its full Winter 2026/27 schedule and, for the first time, is pitching Brussels as a key leisure gateway. Bookings open on 16 April, but the details were published yesterday, revealing new twice-weekly services from Brussels to Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) and to Reykjavik—routes aimed at the winter-sun and Northern-Lights markets respectively.

Travellers excited by these new options should also keep visa formalities in mind: VisaHQ’s Belgian portal (https://www.visahq.com/belgium/) quickly shows whether you need documentation for Spain’s Canary Islands or Iceland and can process any required applications online, saving precious time while you lock in Transavia’s introductory fares.
The airline will base a Boeing 737-800 at Brussels for the season, complementing flights from Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Capacity from Belgium will rise by 18 percent compared with last winter, reflecting sustained demand from both Belgian holiday-makers and expatriates returning home for Christmas. Belgian tour operators welcomed the move. “These destinations were high on our wish-list,” said TUI Belgium’s flight-planning chief. “Las Palmas offers year-round warmth, while Reykjavik is booming thanks to Iceland’s stop-over programmes.” Transavia’s schedule also contains a contingency plan for the planned closure of Eindhoven Airport’s runway in January: some Dutch flights will relocate to Maastricht and Weeze, but Brussels frequencies will remain untouched. For corporate mobility managers, the announcement underlines a broader trend: low-cost carriers are deepening cross-border operations to hedge against slot constraints at their home airports, giving Belgian businesses more point-to-point options for meetings and off-sites.
