Air Transat has launched two new European routes, connecting Toronto to Berlin and Montreal to Valencia.

The Montreal-Valencia route commenced on June 20, marking the first nonstop flights from Canada to Valencia and the city's first long-haul service since 2012. Air Transat now serves four Spanish cities.
