MONTREAL, Oct. 5, 2023 /CNW/ - Air Transat, voted World's Best Leisure Airline at the 2023 Skytrax World Airline Awards, is pleased to present its 2024 summer flight program from Montreal and Quebec City.

At the peak of the season, the airline will offer more than 180 weekly direct flights, serving nearly 40 destinations. Newly added direct flights to Lima in Peru will now be offered year-round.

"By strengthening our frequency of flights to promising markets, expanding our presence in Europe, the U.S. and the South, and reducing the seasonality of our operations, we are well positioned to maximize our revenues and market share in Quebec," said Michèle Barre, Transat's Chief Revenue Officer. "We are committed to continuing our growth and investing in the quality of our in-flight service, for which we have been renowned for more than 35 years."

Air Transat continues to improve its offer on the European market by increasing the frequency of its flights to France, Belgium, the UK, Portugal and Spain throughout the season, in order to offer its customers greater travel flexibility.

From Montreal, the airline will serve nearly 20 European destinations with direct flights. More weekly flights to most French provinces will be added, ensuring a daily presence in Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille. Daily service will also be offered to Barcelona with the addition of three weekly flights.

As for Quebec City, the company will add an extra flight to its service to the City of Light, bringing the number of weekly direct flights to four.

Year-round sun destinations 

In an effort to offer more options to sun lovers, while continuing to reduce the seasonality of its operations in the South, Air Transat will increase the frequency of its flights from Montreal to almost all of its Southern destinations.

In addition, the airline will annualize its flights to Lima, Peru, allowing travel enthusiasts to discover this fascinating destination throughout the year.
