Transavia Paris-Palermo -- missing days
Minor question in the grand scheme of things, but I'm looking at a trip in September or October of this year that may involve flying from Paris (CDG or ORY) to Palermo (PMO).
Transavia operates this route nonstop but there are two random days in September (18 and 21 Sept) on which it doesn't operate at all. This route clearly has a seasonal pattern where starting on 28 October, it only operates on Sunday, Mondays and Thursdays, but the two missing days in September are well before this seasonal schedule change.
One of those two days is very likely to be the one on which I'd like to fly from Paris to Palermo. I can work around it if I must, but I'd much rather take one of the Transavia nonstops if available (the only other nonstop is on Ryanair from Beauvais, which is less than ideal) -- does anyone know if this is likely to be the final schedule and I'm just unlucky? Or is this some weird bug?
EDIT -- is it possible that the nonstop flights are completely sold out? I guess I'd be surprised but maybe there's a big event or something that I don't know about...

There is no Transavia flight loaded on the 18th. There is one AF flight from CDG, but it's sold out.
On 21st, there is the afternoon flight available for 69 EUR (Basic fare) currently.
I would think it's feasible that the flight(s) on 18th were cancelled for whatever reason, maybe the AF one was loaded as sort of replacement?.

Transavia France S.A.S. is 95.51% owned by Air France S.A. and 4.49% owned by Transavia Airlines C.V. of the Netherlands,[5] both of which in turn are ultimately owned by Air France–KLM. Transavia is run as an independent operation, with both arms operating with an identical business model, website and image.[6]
