Air Transat inaugurates non-stop flights to Lima, Peru

Air Transat operated its inaugural flight from Toronto to Lima, Peru Wednesday night (Dec. 20). The first-ever flight from Montreal (TS150) to the Peruvian capital will then take place this Friday, December 22. 

These exclusive non-stop flights, the only ones between Canada and Peru, will be operated throughout the year, with two departures per week from Toronto and one departure per week from Montreal.

“It is a great pleasure for Air Transat to bring this promising route to fruition and finally see our star fly over Peru. Lima represents a strongly strategic South American gateway within our portfolio of destinations, allowing us to continue to benefit from the sustained growth of tourism on this continent. We are also very proud to offer our passengers the opportunity to broaden their horizons and discover the treasures of Peru,” said Michèle Barre, Transat's Chief Revenue Officer.

Flights are offered alongside a range of all-inclusive packages and carefully selected a la carte hotels throughout Peru. Excursions will be added to this product offering in the near future as well.

The flights will be operated with next generation Airbus A321LR aircraft featuring spacious cabins, state-of-the-art in-seat entertainment systems and the lowest fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂ and NO_x) in their class.
