The company is also enhancing its flights
to Marrakech and Puerto Vallarta
for the winter season
MONTREAL, June 20,
2024 /CNW/ - Air Transat is pleased to announce
that it is now offering year-round flights to Nantes, France. The company is also adding an
additional frequency to its new service to Marrakech, Morocco, as well as to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. These new flight
options, all offered departing Montreal, are now available for booking on the
Air Transat website.
Annualization of the Nantes
Route
Air Transat is consolidating its position as the leading carrier
between Quebec and France by annualizing its exclusive
Montreal-Nantes route. Travel enthusiasts will be able
to fly to this western French destination on Fridays and Sundays
from November to April. It is the fourth French destination offered
year-round, along with Paris,
Marseille and Lyon.
"Nantes is a continuation of
the annualization of our services to the French provinces," said
Sebastian Ponce, Transat's Chief
Revenue Officer. "This will not only allow our passengers to
discover this beautiful region of France throughout the year, but it will also
facilitate family reunions for the large French community living in
Montreal."
Program Expansion to Marrakech and Puerto Vallarta
The exclusive non-stop service between Montreal and Marrakech, inaugurated on
June 12, will be reinforced with the
addition of a weekly flight from February 12
to April 24. An additional frequency will also be added to
Puerto Vallarta from February 11 to March 25.
These destinations are also accessible from several other
Canadian cities, including Toronto, thanks to domestic flights connecting
with partner Porter Airlines*. Flights to Marrakech are also
available departing Toronto via a
connection with an Air Transat flight from Toronto to Montreal.
These additional 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.
*Only Porter Airlines flights for travel by March 25, 2025 are currently available for
booking on the Air Transat website. Booking options for travel
after this date will be available in the coming weeks.
