Air Transat will fly to Berlin in 2025 with the non-stop route taking flight from Toronto on June 10 and operating Thursdays and Sundays on a seasonal basis through Oct. 24. The service will be the airline’s 36th non-stop routes between Canada and Europe or North Africa next year.
“This new route aligns with our revenue diversification strategy by targeting an important yet underserved market,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer of Transat. “It also leverages our A321LR aircraft, enabling us to offer a high-quality inflight experience, as well as our joint venture with Porter, which connects the German capital to several major Canadian cities.”
Air Transat will operate the route with the A321LR, one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class, equipped with ergonomic cabins and an advanced inflight entertainment system.
“Berlin is the third-largest unserved market from Toronto Pearson to Europe with more than 100,000 passengers flying indirect each year. We welcome this new direct flight from Air Transat as it will provide passengers a more seamless travel experience,” said Kurush Minocher, Interim Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Director of Customer Experience and Airline Relations of Toronto Pearson Airport.
Aletta von Massenbach, CEO of Berlin Airport added, “The new Toronto route to Berlin is an important step in further expanding our long-haul offering. The connection to Toronto opens up fantastic new travel opportunities for travellers from Berlin and Brandenburg to Canada and North America in general. At the same time, the Capital Region Berlin-Brandenburg is an attractive destination for visitors from Canada.”
