Air Transat enhances flexibility conditions, says it has enough fuel for summer

Air Transat has enhanced the flexibility conditions that apply to its Eco Standard and Club Standard fares for a limited time.

For any Eco Standard or Club Standard booking made between June 5 and September 1, 2026, customers can benefit from no change fees, as well as the option to cancel without penalty in exchange for a travel credit valid for 12 months from the originally scheduled return date. This offer applies to travel between June 5 and September 8, 2026. 

The enhancement "reinforces Air Transat’s commitment to offering simple, flexible travel solutions tailored to travellers’ needs," the airline said in a press release. 

Eco Flex and Club Flex fares continue to offer increased flexibility, including the option to cancel with a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. In addition, 

Option Flex remains available starting at $99 for package bookings, allowing customers to adjust their trip according to their needs.

"Operations are running as planned"

Air Transat is also reassuring its customers about its fuel supply amid concerns over a global shortage. 

"Working in collaboration with its partners and suppliers, and supported by a robust supply chain, Air Transat has secured the fuel required to operate its full summer program," the airline said. "Operations are running as planned."

"The situation is being closely monitored, and Air Transat remains in close coordination with its partners to ensure reliable access to fuel across its entire network. This rigorous planning and the measures in place allow the airline to maintain stable operations and minimize any disruptions."

"Travellers can therefore plan their trips with confidence, knowing that everything is in place to welcome them and get them to their destination." 

Air Canada issued a similar statement earlier this month, writing customers in an email that "there is no fuel shortage affecting our operations, including across Europe." 

"We do not anticipate any significant impact through the summer," the airline said.
