Welcome on the Sud Express

The new service that connect the hubs

What is this service for ? Previously, South Airways had opened air routes between its hubs (between Nice, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux). 

Due to increasing demand, a rail service will be much more efficient and environmentally friendly. South Airways therefore decided to stop flights between hubs and concentrate on a rail line connecting the four major cities and a few other intermediate cities. It is a high-speed intercity with a service every 30 minutes 7 days a week.
