French low-cost airline Transavia recently began flying from Dublin to Paris-Orly Airport, a service that the carrier intends to operate all year.

The airline began operating the service once a day this month, and says it plans to fly between the capital cities all year around.

Its chief commercial officer, Hervé Kozar, said the airline “believes strongly” in the route, and that it wanted to grow it further in the coming months.

Fares begin at about €40 per person one-way.
