TRANSAT BOOSTS MONTREAL ROUTES

Marrakech, Morocco is now available for an extended time from Montreal

Air Transat has introduced several new route options from Montreal. Year-round flights are now available to Nantes, France, while additional frequencies have been added to Marrakech, Morocco, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. All options are now open for booking.

Nantes

Travellers 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.”

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 Feb. 12 to April 24. An additional frequency will also be added to Puerto Vallarta from Feb. 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.

Transat says the additional flights will be operated, notably, with its new-generation Airbus A32LR 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.
