MONTREAL, May 3, 2023
/CNW/ - Air Transat is pleased to unveil the details of
its 2023-2024 winter flight program today for Ontario travellers, slated to begin on
November 1, 2023. The airline
continues to develop its operations and will offer, at the peak of
the season, more than 110 direct flights per week from Toronto, Ottawa, London and Hamilton to over 20 destinations in the
Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America and Europe.
"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 Ontario customers 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 Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and London, it will also offer flights
from Montreal, Quebec City,
Moncton and Halifax.
Sun destinations: more accessible than ever
Compared to last year, over 20 additional flights will be
scheduled departing from Ontario,
reinforcing the airline's commitment to meet travellers' needs
while offering even greater travel day flexibility.
In particular, the company is strengthening its position as the
primary Canadian airline serving the Dominican Republic. At the peak of the season,
four additional direct flights will be offered each week between
Toronto and Punta Cana, while one additional direct flight
will be offered between Toronto
and Puerto Plata, as well as
Toronto and Samana. One additional
direct flight will connect Ottawa
and London with Punta Cana.
Air Transat is also significantly enhancing its Cuba offer with two additional flights
departing from Toronto to
Cayo Coco and one additional flight
