TRANSAT UNVEILS ‘AMBITIOUS’ WINTER SKED

Calling its program “ambitious,” Air Transat is diversifying and expanding its international offerings for winter 2022-23 in a move designed to provide an “unprecedented range of destinations” as Canadians return to travel. More than 50 destinations in the South, North America, and Europe, will be offered, as well as others through code-sharing agreements.

“Our customers want and need to travel,” says Air Transat VP Michèle Barre, adding, “Our response to their expectations is unique, of high quality and rich in options.”

Air Transat continues to grow in Quebec while maintaining its position in Ontario and Atlantic Canada with flights to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, the US, Canada, and Europe.

The airline will offer direct flights from eight cities across the country: Toronto, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Moncton, and Halifax. In addition to its flights to the South, Air Transat will also offer vacationers a selection of packages at more than 300 properties.
