Stronger transatlantic connections
From Montréal, Air Transat will serve a total of seven
transatlantic destinations non-stop. From Montreal, routes to Lisbon and Malaga will see an increase in
frequencies, reinforcing the airline's commitment to providing
increased access to its most popular European destinations. In
addition, routes from Montreal to
Marseille and Lyon will benefit from improved capacity,
thanks to the use of larger aircraft, thus making it possible to
meet the growing demand for these French destinations. The
annualization of the Montreal-Marrakech service will also allow for
continuous exploration of Morocco
throughout the year.
On the Québec City side, an additional frequency will be added
to Paris, offering three direct
flights per week and strengthening access to this emblematic
destination.

An offer for Florida
lovers
Air Transat is strengthening its air routes to Florida by increasing frequencies on some of
these routes. Flights from Montreal to Fort
Lauderdale and Orlando will
benefit from one and two additional frequencies per week,
respectively. These two destinations will continue to be accessible
from Quebec City, with four
flights per week to Fort
Lauderdale and two flights per week to Orlando. These strategic adjustments make it
easier to access Florida for all
types of vacations, including cruises, thanks in part to optimized
flight schedules.
