Air Transat’s summer 2027 flight program features five new non-stop routes between Canada and Europe.
Two cities are joining its network: Geneva, Switzerland, from Montreal, and Birmingham, United Kingdom, from Toronto.
The other new routes will connect Quebec City to Lyon, France, and Barcelona, Spain, as well as Montreal to Faro, Portugal.
On the sun destination side, Quebec City–Puerto Plata and Montreal–St. Maarten services will be extended beyond the winter 2027 season to operate year-round.
“We want to develop a range of destinations that complement one another and offer travellers a variety of experiences,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer.
“Our summer 2027 program combines opportunities to discover new regions of Europe with an expanded presence in markets we already serve. By extending select sun routes through the summer, we are also giving travellers more flexibility to choose when to take their holidays.”
