Air Transat Launches Interline Partnership with Spain’s Iberia
by Bruce Parkinson
Air Transat has announced a new interline partnership with Iberia, expanding its footprint in Spain and enhancing travel options for its customers.
Through this agreement, Air Transat passengers can now connect via Madrid (MAD) to over 20 destinations including Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Ibiza (IBZ), Tenerife (TFN and TFS) and Alicante (ALC).
Additionally, passengers travelling under the interline agreement will enjoy a single itinerary, baggage checked through to their final destination, and additional protection in case of schedule disruptions.
“Spain is one of Air Transat’s most important international markets, and we are proud to be the airline offering the widest range of Spanish destinations from Canada,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat.
“This new partnership with Iberia builds on that leadership by giving our customers seamless access, via Madrid, to even more destinations across Spain. It strengthens our position in the market while offering travellers greater flexibility, convenience and confidence throughout their journey.”
Air Transat now serves five Spanish destinations, including four operated year-round – Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga and Valencia. The recent addition of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (LPA) to its winter program further diversifies its offering, tapping into strong demand for European sun destinations while complementing its established portfolio.
“This partnership with Air Transat reflects Iberia’s broader commitment to strengthening connectivity between North America and Spain,” said Celia Muñoz Espín, Iberia’s Commercial Strategy, Distribution & Alliances Director.
“The agreement will make it easier for Air Transat customers to connect, via Madrid-Barajas, with Iberia-operated destinations across Spain under a single itinerary and it coincides with the launch of Iberia’s new Toronto-Madrid route on June 13. Iberia is currently exploring collaboration opportunities in Toronto to further strengthen domestic connectivity within Canada and enhance the overall customer proposition.”
