Marseille needs Hamburg, who needs ... Marseille!
Looking at both airports top unserved destinations, Marseille Provence and Hamburg have in common to be their respective biggest network white spot in Europe.
Both cities have very much in common: they are second largest to the capitals in their countries, both are maritime cities with close business connections and have strongly developed over the past years to become liveable life style cities, attracting more and more city break tourists from all over Europe and overseas. With more than 25,000 pax O&D flying every year (*), this is a great opportunity to catch for an airline.
A 4 weekly flights schedule would perfectly fit to this city pairing that offers a good balance between inbound and outbound demand, as well as between business and leisure travel purpose.
German and French teams work closely to make this potential route a reality for 2018.
