MONTREAL — Summer 2022 can’t come soon enough for Air Transat, which has just unveiled its summer flight program featuring more than 250 flights each week to 44 destinations.

According Annice Guérard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transat, the summer 2022 program will gradually increase the airline’s service to Europe, strengthen its position in the United States, offer a selection of its most popular South destinations as well as enhance its domestic flight program.

“We are actively rebuilding our network with a modern and versatile fleet that will enable us to meet the increased demand expected in 2022,” says Guérard. “We will be returning to almost all of the destinations served before the pandemic, in addition to offering Canadian travellers major new destinations.”

Last month, the airline announced four new routes for next summer, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Amsterdam from Montreal as well as a direct flight between Quebec City and London.

Here are the new highlights…
