MONTREAL — Air Transat is expanding its network for winter 2026-27, adding new routes to sun destinations and strengthening its transatlantic offering with year-round European service.
The carrier has announced four new routes: Québec City–San José; Toronto–Fort-de-France; London, ON–Puerto Plata; and Charlottetown–Punta Cana. At the same time, two key European routes – Toronto–Paris and Montreal–Barcelona – will now operate year-round, extending beyond their traditional summer schedules.
“Demand for sun destinations remains strong, and Transat’s recognized expertise in leisure travel enables us to respond with ambition,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat.
“Leveraging our brand, our network and a strategy focused on diversification and optimization, we continue to enhance our offering and expand our presence in high-potential markets. And this is only the beginning: next winter will bring a wave of announcements, spanning both network development and partnerships.”
EXPANDED QUEBEC CITY OPTIONS
Québec City continues to be a key focus, with the addition of new non-stop service to San José, Costa Rica. The airline is also increasing frequencies to Fort-de-France, with two weekly flights, and Cancún, with up to eight weekly departures.
In addition, the seasonal Québec City–Nantes route, launching this summer, will be extended through the holiday period to meet demand for European travel.
NEW ACCESS TO THE FRENCH ANTILLES
From Toronto, Air Transat will introduce a new seasonal route to Fort-de-France, Martinique, expanding access to the French Antilles. The destination is already served year-round from Montreal and Québec City, and the addition of Toronto service is expected to broaden its appeal among Canadian travellers.
YEAR-ROUND EUROPE FLIGHTS
The airline is also reinforcing its European network by extending Toronto–Paris and Montreal–Barcelona to year-round operations. Previously offered only in summer, these routes will now provide more flexibility for travellers looking to visit Europe during the winter months, whether for leisure or to visit friends and relatives.
LONDON, ON & CHARLOTTETOWN
Air Transat is also expanding service from regional gateways, with new flights from London, ON, to Puerto Plata and from Charlottetown to Punta Cana. These additions build on existing service from both cities and reflect ongoing demand for convenient departures outside major hubs.
FLORIDA RETURNS
Florida will rejoin the airline’s winter program, with service to Fort Lauderdale resuming after a summer pause. Air Transat plans to operate up to seven weekly flights from Montreal, three from Québec City and one from Halifax.
“These additions illustrate our commitment to consolidating our presence in Eastern Canada by offering more non-stop travel options while responding to growing demand for convenient, close-to-home departures,” added Ponce.
Additional details on Air Transat’s winter 2026-27 program are expected in the coming weeks.
