Air Transat Launches Non-Stop Flights to Peru
by Dori Saltzman /Air Transat has launched non-stop flights from Toronto to Lima, Peru, and will start flying non-stop from Montreal tomorrow, Dec. 22. The non-stop flights, the only ones between Canada and Peru, will be operated throughout the year, with two departures per week from Toronto, and one departure per week from Montreal.
“It is a great pleasure for Air Transat to bring this promising route to fruition and finally see our star fly over Peru,” said Michele Barre, chief revenue officer for Air Transat. “Lima represents a strongly strategic South American getaway within our portfolio of destinations, allowing us to continue to benefit from the sustained growth of tourism on this continent.”
Flights are offered alongside a range of all-inclusive packages and a la carte hotels offered throughout Peru. Excursions will be added to the product offering in the near future, as well.
“We are thrilled that Air Transat is launching annual service to Lima from Toronto Pearson,” said Kurush Minocher, executive director, customer experience and airline relations at Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “South America is a largely underserved region from YYZ, with Lima previously being an altogether unserved destination.”
