Air Transat inks interline deal with GOL Airlines

Air Transat has announced an interline partnership with GOL Airlines, one of Brazil’s largest airlines.

The partnership aims to significantly expand Air Transat’s network by providing onward connections across Brazil and to key destinations throughout South America.

Thanks to this new agreement, travellers flying with Air Transat to Rio de Janeiro Galeão International Airport (GIG) will be able to seamlessly connect to GOL’s network of 65 domestic and 17 international destinations, including major cities such as Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador et Belo Horizonte. 

“We are thrilled to partner with GOL to make it easier than ever for Canadians to explore Brazil and beyond,” said Sebastian Ponce, chief revenue officer at Transat, in a press release. “This partnership strengthens our presence in South America and expands our network in a way that perfectly complements our new non-stop service to Rio de Janeiro.”

This launch comes as Air Transat prepares to inaugurate its first-ever non-stop flights to Rio de Janeiro:   

• From Toronto (YYZ): starting February 4, 2026, operating twice weekly
• From Montreal (YUL): starting February 5, 2026, operating once weekly

The partnership is effective immediately, and flights will be available for booking in the coming days.
