Air Transat announces new Toronto-Istanbul route starting December

Currently operating 16 A330 aircraft, Air Transat's presence at Toronto Pearson International Airport is expected to grow through connections facilitated by its joint venture with Porter Airlines. These connections will particularly benefit travelers from Western Canada, Ottawa, Montreal, and the Maritimes.

Air Transat continues to focus on expanding its European market presence. It offers numerous direct flights from Montreal and Toronto to key European destinations such as London, Paris, Rome, Athens, among others. Recently launched routes include a nonstop service between Toronto Pearson International Airport and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), starting June 19, 2025.

The airline also plans seasonal expansions of its services to Valencia and Bordeaux during winter months using A321LR aircraft from Montreal starting February 21, 2026.

Skytrax has named Air Transat the world's best leisure airline for 2025. This marks the seventh time it has received this award and the third consecutive year of earning this distinction.
