Challenges
The challenges we faced during this project
Rapid business growth but limited network control
Transavia’s IT network operated within a distributed IT landscape inside the KLM and Air France-KLM Group IT infrastructure. This shared environment reduced operational costs, but Transavia’s IT needs and digital transformation priorities increasingly differed from those of its parent airlines.
The planes must keep flying: Zero disruption through risk-aware planning and time-efficient automation
The network transition required a series of pre-planned, rehearsed, and synchronized “cutover moments”, where multiple parties execute near-simultaneous tasks and collaborate on re-routing live traffic streams with minimal disruption.
Transavia gained full control of its network, freeing itself from reliance on Air France-KLM Group’s shared systems while keeping open options for strategic collaboration.
Enhanced user experience
Higher uptime, smoother application performance, and faster data exchange with partners have reduced operational disruption.
Simplicity for the IT department and cost savings
A tailored solution eliminates unnecessary network features, protocols, and services, reducing complexity and cutting costs.
