In addition to Venice and Malaga, already announced, they will service Ajaccio, Bastia, Palermo, Ibiza and Toulon. The launch of these new routes will run between April 25 (Venice) and August 1 (Toulon), most other openings taking place in June. According to the destinations, the frequencies will be two to four flights a week.
