Air Transat has a new interline partnership with GOL Airlines that will significantly expand the Canadian carrier’s network by providing convenient onward connections across Brazil and to key destinations throughout South America with one of the country’s largest airlines.
Travellers flying with Air Transat to Rio de Janeiro Galeão International Airport (GIG) will be able to seamlessly connect to GOL’s extensive network of 65 domestic and 17 international destinations, including major cities such as Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador et Belo Horizonte.
“We are thrilled to partner with GOL to make it easier than ever for Canadians to explore Brazil and beyond,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat. “This partnership strengthens our presence in South America and expands our network in a way that perfectly complements our new non-stop service to Rio de Janeiro.”
The launch comes as Air Transat prepares to inaugurate its first-ever non-stop flights to Rio de Janeiro:
- From Toronto (YYZ): starting Feb. 4, 2026, operating twice weekly
- From Montreal (YUL): starting Feb. 5, 2026, operating once weekly
The partnership is effective immediately, and flights will be available for booking in the coming days.
