“We are proud to present an ambitious flight program that is even more attractive than or pre-pandemic offer,” said Michele Barre, Air Transat’s chief revenue officer. “The rise in our overall capacity for winter 2023-2024 also includes a major increase in the frequency of flights to South destinations…”
