MONTREAL, Sept. 12, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Transat, named the 2018 World's Best Leisure Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards, presents its future experts in an all‑new web series.

The three webisodes posted today take viewers into Air Transat's hangar, where we meet young children eager to share their knowledge of aviation with Raymond, Certified Aircraft Mechanic Technician at Air Transat. How fast can an airplane fly? How many passengers can travel on our airplane? How much does an airplane cost? The videos, created with agency Sid Lee, spotlight the future experts' priceless reactions as a playful way to reveal some fun facts on the aviation industry.

"This series builds on our most recent content initiatives. In our 'vacation experts' series, employees tell us what they love best about their favourite destinations, providing recommendations from seasoned travellers to inspire people everywhere as they plan their South and Europe holidays," explains Geneviève LeBrun, Vice-President of Marketing at Transat. "With our 'future experts,' we talk aviation, a topic many people are curious about, while also reaffirming our role as family travel specialists. It's worth noting that our future experts are all children of Transat employees, showing that passion for travel runs in the family."

Air Transat makes travel easier for families, with benefits including direct flights, convenient departure times, attentive staff, exclusive check-in counters and priority boarding for families with young children. What's more, Air Transat's Kids Club welcomes all mini-globetrotters aged 2 to 11 for free, offering a membership kit filled with travel goodies, standard seat selection for the departure and return flights, on‑board surprises, and more.
