MONTREAL, May 3, 2023
/CNW/ - Air Transat is pleased to unveil the details of
its 2023-2024 winter flight program today for travellers in the
Maritimes. The airline continues to develop its operations, and
will offer, at the peak of the season, more than 20 direct
flights per week from Halifax and
Moncton to 10 destinations in the
Caribbean, Mexico and the United States.
"We are proud to present an ambitious flight program that is
even more attractive than our pre-pandemic offer,"
said Michèle Barre, Air Transat's Chief Revenue Officer. "The
rise in our overall capacity for winter 2023-2024 also includes a
major increase in the frequency of flights to South destinations,
while enabling us to keep on strengthening our air network as we
offer our customers in the Maritimes even more flight options."
At the peak of the season, Air Transat's overall program will
include over 300 direct flights per week departing from eight
Canadian cities. In addition to Halifax and Moncton, it will also offer flights from
Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Ottawa, London and Hamilton.
Sun destinations: more accessible
than ever
For the very first time, Air Transat will be considerably
expanding its winter operations in the Maritimes by moving up the
start date for certain routes to meet growing demand, particularly
during the Holiday Season. In the past, these destinations were
only available beginning in February. This year, December 18 will be the start date for various
flights departing from Halifax
(Cancún, Cayo Coco, Fort Lauderdale, Holguín, Orlando, Punta
Cana and Varadero) and from Moncton (Cancún and Punta Cana).
This winter, more than 20 flights will be scheduled to 10
southern destinations each week, reinforcing the airline's
commitment to meet travellers' needs while offering even greater
travel day flexibility.
