Quebec City-Guadeloupe
On Feb. 18, Air Transat operated its inaugural flight (banner photo) between Quebec City (YQB) and Pointe à Pitre (PTP), becoming the only airline to offer non-stop service between the two cities. The departure took place in the new Air Transat zone at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport, a venue designed to inspire travel and featuring, among other things, a children’s play area.
Operated every Wednesday until April 29, the flight creates a new direct connection to Guadeloupe, a region renowned for its vibrant culture, tropical landscapes and warm atmosphere.
The route is operated with the Airbus A321LR, a modern aircraft known for its efficiency and comfort. Travellers enjoy a thoughtfully designed cabin, ergonomic seating and a state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system, both in Economy Class and Club Class.
“The addition of Pointe-à-Pitre from Quebec City brings to 15 the number of destinations offered by Air Transat this winter from Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport and illustrates our commitment to investing where demand is strong while maintaining our network’s balance,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat.
