Canada's Air Transat started unveiling its 2026-2027 winter program on Friday with the announcement of four new routes – Quebec City–San José, Toronto–Fort-de-France, London–Puerto Plata, and Charlottetown–Punta Cana – as well as the expansion of the Toronto–Paris and Montreal–Barcelona routes to year-round service. This first phase highlights attractive additions to sun destinations and the strengthening of the airline's transatlantic offering.Sustained Expansion from Quebec City
Air Transat continues to grow its operations from Quebec City
with the addition of a new route to San José, Costa Rica. The offering is also
enhanced with additional frequencies to Fort-de-France (two flights per week)
and Cancún (eight flights per week). In addition, the seasonal Québec
City–Nantes route, scheduled to launch this summer, will be extended through
the holiday period to meet the strong demand for Europe. These additions
bolster Air Transat's winter offering and consolidate its position as
the leading carrier at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport.
The French Antilles Now Easily Accessible from Toronto
From Toronto, Air Transat is adding a new route to
Fort-de-France, Martinique – a fast-growing destination renowned for its
cultural richness and unique landscapes. Already offered year-round from
Montreal and Quebec City, this destination will now be available seasonally from
Toronto, allowing even more travelers to discover this gem of the French
Antilles.
Key European Routes Now Offered Year-Round
Air Transat is expanding its winter offering to Europe by making
two popular European routes available year-round. The Toronto–Paris and
Montreal–Barcelona routes, previously operated only during the summer season,
will now also be available in winter. This addition is designed to better meet
the needs of travelers wishing to visit loved ones or plan trips outside the
peak season. By offering these destinations year-round, Air Transat provides greater choice and flexibility while facilitating travel between Canada and Europe.
Expanded Offering from London and Charlottetown
Air Transat is also continuing to expand its presence at regional airports with the addition of flights to Puerto Plata from London (Ontario) and to Punta Cana from Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island). These routes enhance the
airline's existing sun destination offering, which already includes flights from London to Cancún and Punta Cana, as well as from Charlottetown to Cancún.
Florida Returns to the Winter Program
After a summer pause, Air Transat will
resume service to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in winter 2026-2027. The airline will
offer up to 7 weekly flights from Montreal, 3 weekly flights from Quebec City, and 1 weekly flight from Halifax. The return of this iconic
sun destination is part of Air Transat's efforts to strengthen its
winter offering and reinforce its presence in the most promising markets.
Additional announcements will follow in the coming weeks to complete the 2026-2027 winter program.
