Transavia Denmark ApS, also known as Transavia.com Denmark or Transavia Denmark and trading as transavia.com, was a Danish based low-cost airline operating as a subsidiary of Transavia group. Its main base was at Copenhagen Airport. Transavia Denmark chiefly operated scheduled and charter services to leisure destinations. It was headquartered in Kastrup, Tårnby Municipality."[http://www.slv.dk/Dokumenter/dsweb/Get/Document-433/TN25L_PDF.pdf List of Danish airline operators holding a licence/concession/permission to carry out commercial air transportation] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224035405/http://www.slv.dk/Dokumenter/dsweb/Get/Document-433/TN25L_PDF.pdf |date=2012-02-24 }}." Slv.dk. Retrieved on 3 January 2010. Operations ceased in 2011, although those in the Netherlands and France continue.

History

The airline began operations on 6 November 2008; Sterling Airlines had gone bankrupt in October 2008 and Transavia saw a good opportunity to start operations in Denmark because of this, and announced that it would start operations at short notice. {{Citation needed|date=February 2016}}

Transavia Denmark started flights from Billund Airport under a Danish tour operator. It operated five routes from Billund. It also announced a larger base at Copenhagen Airport from which it operated ten routes. Ticket sales for the new low-cost airline started on 7 November 2008.[http://www.transavia.com/hv/main/news?id=transavia.com_to_start_operations_in_denmark&pageOffset=0 New Transavia carrier]

In September 2010, it was announced that Transavia Denmark would cease operations on 23 April 2011. From 1 November 2010 onwards the activities were gradually scaled down until the complete stop on 23 April 2011. The parent of Transavia Denmark, Air France-KLM, stated that the Danish part of Transavia had not met expectations.[http://www.transavia.com/hv/main/news?id=transavia.com_intends_to_close_operation_in_denmark&lang=pt&country=PT intends to close operation in Denmark]
