MONTREAL, June 13,
2024 /CNW/ - Air Transat, voted the World's Best
Leisure Airline at the 2023 Skytrax World Airline Awards, proudly
operated its first flight connecting YUL Montréal-Trudeau
International Airport to Marrakech-Menara International Airport
(TS396) last night. This exclusive non-stop service, the only one
between Canada and Marrakech, will
operate year-round: twice weekly during the summer (until October)
and once weekly during the winter (from November to April).
"We are extremely proud to introduce this new route between
Montreal and Marrakech, an
initiative that not only enhances our destination offerings but
also strengthens our mission of bringing people closer together.
This direct route will allow the Moroccan diaspora to reunite more
easily with their loved ones while offering Canadian travellers a
unique opportunity to discover the cultural and historical wonders
of Morocco. This is a major
milestone in our history, demonstrating our commitment to creating
memorable and meaningful travel experiences," said Joseph Adamo, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer
of Transat.
This service is complemented by packages, guided tours, and à la
carte hotels to meet all the needs of travel enthusiasts.
"ADM Aéroports de Montréal is delighted to welcome this first
direct service to Marrakech offered by our partner Air Transat,
which will allow travellers to discover a destination rich in
history and culture. And we're even prouder to be the first airport
in North America to offer non-stop
service to this must-see French-speaking city," said Karl Brochu, Vice President, Airport Operation
and Air Services Development at Aéroports de Montréal. "This
year-round service will benefit not only Montréal's large Moroccan
community but also all travellers looking for unforgettable
memories. We would like to thank all the Air Transat teams who have
worked tirelessly to develop this route, which once again confirms
YUL's status as a major hub for international air
travel."
These flights will be operated, notably, with its new-generation
Airbus A321LR aircraft, featuring spacious cabins, state-of-the-art
in-seat entertainment systems, and the lowest fuel consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and NOx) in their
category.
