I used this airline from Nice to Amsterdam on September 7, 2007. The airplane was held in Amsterdam September 6, 2007 until midday September 7, 2007. The flight was delayed 7 hours due to mechanical problems. Actually 8, we where held in the plane for an hour without any air conditioning; it was 34 degrees outside in the Nice sun. As soon as we landed in Amsterdam (like plane on the ground, not at the gate) the air was turned off again. By the time we got to the gate, we where gasping for air again.

Flight was delayed for 2.5 hours, reason was mechanical problems. I went to the transfer desk to see about getting on another carrier and was told that Transavia does not have any transfer agreement. I ask the lady to see about getting another flight since my company said to return that day. The lady was nice enough to check if the plane was in route, it was not but another had been place in service as a replacement. Later I found out it was the same plane that had problems on September 7, 2007

Prolog
Transavia apparently is a charter airline trying to do a new type of service. When I looked at the 7 flights for Transavia, 3 was delayed.
