Chalair launches new route from Southampton to Normandy

A new route has been launched between Southampton Airport and Normandy in France.

The flights to Caen will be operated by a 70-seat ATR 72 aircraft and will take place every Friday and Sunday from June 28th to September 22nd.

Christopher Tibbett, Aero Director for AGS Airports, which owns Southampton Airport, said: “We are thrilled to not only welcome new partner Chalair for what is the airline’s first UK route, but we are also celebrating Southampton Airport’s first-ever service to Caen.

“Southampton is the only UK airport which will operate a service to the Caen, so we anticipate that the route will be popular with passengers looking to explore this historic French city or those who own second homes in the wider Normandy region.

“With fantastic 40-minute flight times departing Friday mornings and returning Sunday afternoons, Chalair’s Caen service will also be the ideal destination for a summer weekend getaway.”
