Air Transat Officially Launches New Vancouver to Quebec City Service

Air Transat Monday officially inaugurated its newest service from Vancouver to Quebec City.

The service is brand new for Air Transat, which, with the service, became the first and only airline to operate the route. Air Transat will fly the route on the Airbus A321neoLR aircraft. 

The route will now be a feature of the carrier’s summer schedule for the rest of the 2021 season—Air Transat said it will offer the service once a week on Mondays until October 25. According to the carrier, a boom in domestic interest in Canada made it a natural addition.

“It was only natural for us to add this route to our summer schedule,” says Joseph Adamo, Transat’s chief sales, and marketing officer. “As we predicted, travelers are showing a strong interest in domestic destinations, so we are pleased to offer them this new route linking two of Canada’s most important tourist hubs.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Air Transat back to Canada’s skies with its new service connecting YVR to beautiful Quebec City,” says Tamara Vrooman, president, and CEO of Vancouver International Airport.

“The addition of this seasonal flight provides travelers with more options when flying domestically from YVR and is a strong signal of confidence from Air Transat as it rejoins Canada’s airlines in the effort to reopen travel and tourism across the country, safely and in a measured approach. At YVR, we are ready to welcome back all passengers to the airport and are committed to delivering a safe and seamless experience to our passengers who, thanks to Air Transat, now have another great destination to visit directly from Vancouver.”

Aside from the Quebec City route, Air Transat is also offering direct flights from Vancouver to both Montreal and Toronto this summer.
