These new routes will provide access to several international connections.

Vinci Airports chairman and VINCI Concessions CEO Nicolas Notebaert said: “This achievement is the fruit of the excellent relationship between the EasyJet and VINCI Airports teams. EasyJet is setting up operations at Toulon Hyères Airport for the first time. The new routes to Paris and London are a great opportunity for the people of the Var and will help the local tourist economy to recover. We are particularly proud to open the route to London Gatwick, another airport in the VINCI Airports network. The synergies within our network of hubs open up development opportunities for the areas where we operate.”

This link between TLN and Paris Charles-de-Gaulle will create a bridge between the Var airport and the international market, leading to the economic development of the region.

VINCI Airports stated that TLN will regain its direct connection with London for the first time since 2018 and simplify exchanges between the Var and the London market.

EasyJet France managing director Bertrand Godinot said: “We are delighted that Toulon-Hyères will join our network and become the 21st airport served by EasyJet in France.
