Marc Sieffert Posted August 9, 2020 at 06:48 PM Posted August 9, 2020 at 06:48 PM Hi, I recently changed my Airline Company to TRANSAVIA FRANCE (TVF). I understood that the callsign for TRANSAVIA FRANCE (TVF) is FRANCE SOLEIL. Should this callsign be used for all countries or only France?? I some lists I saw that there is also the call sign FRANCE SUN...?? I need the callsign for France and for countries other than France. Thanks!!

Koen Meier Posted August 9, 2020 at 08:46 PM Posted August 9, 2020 at 08:46 PM Soleil is the French word for sun. The callsign is used irrespective of which country you are flying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Sieffert Posted August 9, 2020 at 09:29 PM Author Posted August 9, 2020 at 09:29 PM Yes, I know that soleil is sun in English... But in some callsign lists I read that the callsign of TVF is FRANCE SOLEIL, in other lists FRANCE SUN... So I was not sure what to take... So your answer is that the callsign of TVF is FRANCE SOLEIL, in French territory and non French territory. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craighton Miller Posted August 9, 2020 at 09:52 PM Posted August 9, 2020 at 09:52 PM Airlines that are apart of IATA and ICAO are unique and recognized worldwide. They are not specific to a country or region. If you were to use TVF in the USA, Australia, Africa, or anywhere you would be referred to the same callsign "FRANCE SOLEIL" Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transavia_France 1 Craighton Miller (1273399) Marketing & Communications Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Trzcinski Posted August 20, 2020 at 08:02 PM Posted August 20, 2020 at 08:02 PM (edited) Which frankly is a bit.... stupid, for a lack of better words, by TVF to use a word like "SOLEIL" in the callsign. Who apart from French-speakers will be able to pronounce that? Have fun with all the different countries and their alterations to "SOUL-EY" "SOLEEEL" "SOL-ISLE" and whatnot 😛 Edited August 20, 2020 at 08:03 PM by Adam Trzcinski VATSIM Germany www.ftw-sim.de | Fly-The-World economic simulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
