"This destination completes the enhancement of our transatlantic, South and Florida network, as well as the optimization of our connectivity with Porter Airlines, to meet our clients' expectations."

Air Transat's 2025 summer program reflects the company's desire to strengthen its offer in key markets. At the peak of the season, Air Transat will offer more than 275 weekly non-stop flights to over 40 destinations from Montreal, Toronto and Quebec City.

Diversified long-haul offer in Europe, Morocco and Peru

Next summer, the airline will offer a total of 26 transatlantic destinations. From Montreal, an additional weekly frequency will be added to Basel-Mulhouse in Switzerland and London in England. From Quebec City, the number of weekly non-stop flights to Paris will increase to five with the addition of one frequency.
