Air Transat to Fly South from Three New Cities This Winter
by Bruce Parkinson
Transat is pushing back against a shareholder’s bid for control.
Air Transat is enhancing its winter flight program with the addition of three new departure points in Canada.
Starting in winter 2025-2026, travellers from Windsor (YQG) will enjoy weekly flights to Punta Cana (PUJ), while those from Charlottetown (YYG) and Fredericton (YFC) will have access to a new weekly route to Cancún (CUN).
“The addition of Windsor, Charlottetown and Fredericton to our winter flight program demonstrates our commitment to expanding our network in the Canadian market,” said Sebastian Ponce, Transat’s Chief Revenue Officer.
“Thanks to optimized operations, we are strengthening our leadership position in Cancún and Punta Cana, while increasing our brand presence in Eastern Canada and Southern Ontario.”
Departures from Windsor to Punta Cana will be offered every Friday from December 19, 2025, to April 10, 2026. Then, starting February 18, 2026, flights from Charlottetown and Fredericton to Cancún will be offered every Wednesday, until April 22, 2026.
Transat says the new routes will offer travellers from these regions direct access to these popular sun destinations, as well as the simplicity of Transat’s signature all-inclusive packages.
Details of Air Transat’s full winter 2025-2026 program will be announced soon.
