YUL: Transat makes Nantes year-round, ups frequency to Marrakech & PV

Air Transat has announced it is now offering year-round flights to Nantes, France.

The company is also adding an additional frequency to its new service to Marrakech, Morocco, as well as to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

These new flight options, all offered departing Montreal, are now available for booking on the Air Transat website.

Travellers will be able to fly to Nantes on Fridays and Sundays from November to April.

It is the fourth French destination offered year-round, along with Paris, Marseille and Lyon.

“Nantes is a continuation of the annualization of our services to the French provinces,” said Sebastian Ponce, Transat’s chief revenue officer. “This will not only allow our passengers to discover this beautiful region of France throughout the year, but it will also facilitate family reunions for the large French community living in Montreal.”

The exclusive non-stop service between Montreal and Marrakech, inaugurated on June 12, will be reinforced with the addition of a weekly flight from Feb. 12 to April 24.

An additional frequency will also be added to Puerto Vallarta from Feb. 11 to March 25.

These destinations are also accessible from several other Canadian cities, including Toronto, thanks to domestic flights connecting with partner Porter Airlines.

Flights to Marrakech are also available departing Toronto via a connection with an Air Transat flight from Toronto to Montreal.

The additional flights will be operated with its new-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 NOx) in their category.
