Canadian airline Air Transat is adding new routes to Europe and the Caribbean, set to start later this year and in 2026.
The Montreal-based carrier said it is expanding service from Quebec City and Ottawa and will operate some connections not flown by any other airline.
Starting May 21, 2026, Air Transat will fly nonstop between Quebec City and Marseille, France, once per week on Thursdays. The route, which will be exclusive to Air Transat, will run until Oct. 8, 2026.
A previously announced new service between Quebec City and Fort-de-France, Martinique, scheduled to launch Dec. 14 of this year, will be extended over the summer of 2026, operating once weekly on Mondays.
From Ottawa, Air Transat will fly to London Gatwick and Montreal. The Ottawa-London Gatwick route will commence May 15, 2026, and operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
This service will be Air Transat’s first transatlantic route from Ottawa. No other airline currently connects Ottawa and London Gatwick.
The Ottawa-Montreal route will run between May 5, 2026, and Oct. 23, 2026. The flight will help travelers in Ottawa access Air Transat’s full network, airline leaders said.
Expanded Service to Latin America, Caribbean
Beginning in the summer of 2026, Air Transat will also annualize several popular seasonal routes, including Montreal to Cartagena, Colombia; Montreal to Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe; Montreal to San José, Costa Rica; and Toronto to Medellín, Colombia, via Cartagena. The Montreal to Cartagena route will be extended to reach Medellín, with Cartagena as a stopover.
