Barcelona, the most anticipated destination for people from Brittany
Starting October 26, 2025, Rennes will be connected to Barcelona twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday. This is a huge relief for local travel agencies that have been asking for this route for a long time. According to the MTA 2024 study, Barcelona is the most sought-after international destination by the residents of Ille-et-Vilaine. And we totally get it: beaches, culture, tapas, architecture, and sunshine almost all year round.
But beyond vacation plans, this new route also has strong economic and educational implications. Over 800 Breton companies export to Spain, and Barcelona attracts many students each year (hello, Erasmus!). So, it's truly a bridge opening up between Brittany and Catalonia.

Geneva, the gateway to Switzerland (and the Alps!)
Starting October 31, 2025, Geneva will enhance the Rennes flight offerings, with flights every Monday and Friday. It’s a fantastic spot to quickly reach French-speaking Switzerland, as well as ski resorts and the business world.
This route meets a strong and regular demand, especially from Franco-Swiss families, tourists (over a million Swiss overnight stays in Brittany in 2024!), and professionals. With this connection, Rennes gets closer to a population base of a million people, and further strengthens its ties with the international community.

Rennes Bretagne, an airport on the rise
With Manchester already added to the flight map in June 2025, and now Barcelona and Geneva, Rennes Bretagne Airport is confirming its desire to enhance its international network. Thanks to the support of the Ille-et-Vilaine Chamber of Commerce and VINCI Airports, it is establishing itself as a rapidly growing regional hub.
One thing is for sure, Rennes has never been so connected to Europe. Ready to board?
