Toulouse-Blagnac Airport has introduced its winter flight schedule, opening new direct connections from south-western France to the Caribbean, Italy and the Canary Islands.
The autumn and winter programme took effect on October 25, 2026, coinciding with the seasonal transition to winter time, and is scheduled to operate through to the end of March 2027.
Toulouse-Blagnac Airport serves as the primary international aviation gateway for the Occitanie region in south-western France. Known as the Pink City because of its historic reddish-terracotta architecture, Toulouse is also the industrial headquarters of European aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Commercial airports across Europe adjust their flight timetables on the final Sunday of October in line with international scheduling conventions, realigning services to match leisure holiday patterns and winter business travel.
Airport officials highlighted three major destination additions for the colder months ahead: long-haul direct links to the French Caribbean, cultural city breaks in Tuscany and warm-weather travel to the Canary Islands. In total, passengers using the hub will have access to more than 70 destinations throughout the season.
Direct flights to Guadeloupe
French long-haul airline Corsair will begin flying directly from Toulouse to Pointe-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe on December 16, 2026. The weekly service will operate on Wednesdays until April 29, 2027.
The transatlantic route will be operated by an Airbus A330neo wide-body aircraft, drawn from Corsair fleet of nine such airliners. The direct connection provides residents of south-western France with access to the Caribbean archipelago, situated between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, without the requirement of transferring through airports in Paris.
Passengers flying to Guadeloupe will also have access to onward regional connections to the islands of Saint-Barthelemy and Marie-Galante. These connecting flights are coordinated through a partnership established between Corsair and Air Inter Iles by St Barth Executive.
Corsair is a French carrier headquartered south of Paris that focuses primarily on scheduled international routes between mainland France, the French overseas departments and high-demand tropical leisure destinations. The Airbus A330neo is a modern long-range twin-engine airliner built with advanced aerodynamics and high-efficiency engines designed to cut fuel burn and operating noise on intercontinental journeys.
Guadeloupe is an overseas department and region of France in the Lesser Antilles. Connecting services allow travellers to explore nearby dependencies and islands, including Saint-Barthelemy, an overseas collectivity known for secluded coves and luxury tourism, and Marie-Galante, famed for sugar cane plantations and quiet coastal beaches.
Ongoing services to the Indian Ocean
In addition to the new Caribbean service, Corsair will continue operating its scheduled route from Toulouse to Reunion Island throughout the winter. The service, which was launched on June 15, operates twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Flights to Reunion Island include a short technical stopover in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille. After arriving at Saint-Denis on Reunion Island, passengers can continue their journey to the island of Mauritius or to Mayotte following an approximate one-hour layover.
Reunion Island and Mayotte are French overseas territories in the south-western Indian Ocean, and both retain vital administrative, educational and commercial ties with metropolitan France. Providing direct departures from regional hubs such as Toulouse reduces journey times for provincial travellers by avoiding rail transfers or domestic airport transfers across Paris.
Volotea routes to Pisa and Fuerteventura
Spanish low-cost carrier Volotea is preparing to inaugurate two new destinations from Toulouse-Blagnac during the autumn and winter schedule.
Starting on November 6, 2026, Volotea will operate two flights a week to Pisa, departing on Mondays and Fridays. The route connects south-western France directly to the historic cities of Tuscany and Pisa famous 56-metre leaning bell tower.
Volotea will follow that launch on December 19, 2026, with a weekly Saturday service to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. The island destination offers visitors 150 kilometres of white-sand beaches, volcanic topography and a wide selection of water sports activities during the European winter.
Volotea was founded in 2011 with a business model centered on direct point-to-point flights connecting mid-sized regional European cities that lack nonstop connections from legacy carriers. The airline maintains several operational bases across regional airports in France, Spain, Italy and Greece.
Pisa is located in the heart of Tuscany in central Italy and serves as a major gateway for travellers heading into Florence and the surrounding Chianti wine region. Fuerteventura, the second-largest of the Canary Islands archipelago administered by Spain, sits in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of north-west Africa and attracts visitors with year-round mild temperatures.
Wider European and international network
The winter timetable at Toulouse-Blagnac includes more than 70 destinations, featuring services from low-cost operators, regional airlines and full-service legacy flag carriers.
Volotea will continue flying from Toulouse to Venice and the Greek island of Heraklion. Irish budget carrier Ryanair operates winter services connecting Toulouse to Rome and the southern Moroccan resort of Agadir. Czech airline Smartwings provides scheduled flights to Prague, and Turkish Airlines runs direct operations linking Toulouse to its international transit hub at Istanbul Airport. Travellers heading to London will have access to services provided across three different airlines.
Longer-haul services across the network include transatlantic flights by Air Canada to Montreal and scheduled flights to the Senegalese capital of Dakar operated by Transavia. Dutch carrier KLM continues to link the airport to Amsterdam Schiphol, while British low-cost airline easyJet is expanding its operations to Marrakech by adding three weekly flights.
Transavia, the low-cost subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group, is also increasing its presence at Toulouse-Blagnac by introducing additional daily services and accelerating its transition from Boeing 737 aircraft to new Airbus A320neo planes.
Tickets and booking details for all winter routes are available through airline reservation systems and the Toulouse-Blagnac Airport flight information service as operations get underway across south-western France.
