AIR TRANSAT SAYS SI TO NEW LATIN ROUTES

Air Transat is adding a Latin touch to its winter 2025/26 route network with the addition of new service between Montreal and Guadalajara, Mexico, and extended service between Montreal and Madrid, Spain, to cover part of the winter season.

“The launch of these new routes reflects our commitment to offering a diversified network and effectively meeting currently underserved demand,” says Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat. “By targeting high-potential markets like Guadalajara and gradually making our European service available year-round, we are strengthening our position from Eastern Canada to the South and Europe, while maximizing our fleet’s operational efficiency. These are carefully curated routes that align with Air Transat’s DNA.”

Montreal – Guadalajara

Starting Dec. 13 travellers can fly non-stop from Montreal to Guadalajara, a cultural gem of Mexico. Offered twice weekly on Thursdays and Saturdays, the new route opens the door to an authentic and vibrant destination – the birthplace of mariachi, tequila, and a thriving culinary scene. In addition to serving the needs of Quebec’s Mexican community, this service invites travellers to discover another side of Mexico.

Montreal – Madrid: Spain in Winter

Starting Feb. 18, 2026, Air Transat will offer two flights per week between Montreal and Madrid on Wednesdays and Fridays, extending its summer route for the first time into the winter season. The expansion is part of Air Transat’s strategy to reduce the seasonality of its transatlantic network by adding Madrid to its winter offerings for Spain, which already includes Malaga. Additionally, the airline offers seamless connectivity to several other key destinations in Spain through its interline partnership with Air Europa.

The airline notes that its joint venture with Porter Airlines allows travellers from across Canada to easily access Air Transat’s extensive network via connecting flights.

Details of Air Transat’s full winter 2025-2026 program will be announced soon. The aforementioned will be available to book this week.
