Winter 2026-27: Air Transat adds Toronto-Martinique, restores Florida

Air Transat has begun unveiling its 2026-27 winter program with the announcement of four new routes – Quebec City–San José, Toronto–Fort-de-France, London–Puerto Plata, and Charlottetown–Punta Cana – as well as the expansion of the Toronto–Paris and Montreal–Barcelona routes to year-round service.

This first phase highlights attractive additions to sun destinations and the strengthening of the airline's transatlantic offering.

"Demand for sun destinations remains strong, and Transat's recognized expertise in leisure travel enables us to respond with ambition," said Sebastian Ponce, chief revenue officer at Transat, in a press release.

"Leveraging our brand, our network and a strategy focused on diversification and optimization, we continue to enhance our offering and expand our presence in high-potential markets. And this is only the beginning: next winter will bring a wave of announcements, spanning both network development and partnerships."

Expansion from Quebec City

Air Transat continues to grow its operations from Quebec City with the addition of a new route to San José, Costa Rica.

The offering is also enhanced with additional frequencies to Fort-de-France (two flights per week) and Cancún (eight flights per week). In addition, the seasonal Québec City–Nantes route, scheduled to launch this summer, will be extended through the holiday period to meet the strong demand for Europe.

These additions bolster Air Transat's winter offering and consolidate its position as the leading carrier at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport.

The French Antilles now accessible from Toronto

From Toronto, Air Transat is adding a new route to Fort-de-France, Martinique.

Already offered year-round from Montreal and Quebec City, the destination will now be available seasonally from Toronto.

Key European routes now year-round

Air Transat is expanding its winter offering to Europe by making two popular European routes available year-round.

The Toronto–Paris and Montreal–Barcelona routes, previously operated only during the summer season, will now also be available in winter.

This addition is designed to better meet the needs of travellers wishing to visit loved ones or plan trips outside the peak season,” the airline said. “By offering these destinations all year long, Air Transat provides greater choice and flexibility while facilitating travel between Canada and Europe throughout the year.”

Expanded offering from London & Charlottetown

Air Transat is also continuing to develop its presence at regional airports with the addition of Puerto Plata from London (Ontario) and Punta Cana from Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island).

These routes enhance the airline's existing sun destination offering, which already includes flights to Cancún and Punta Cana from London, as well as Cancún from Charlottetown.

Florida returns 

After a pause during the summer season, Air Transat will resume service to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in winter 2026-2027.

The airline will offer up to seven weekly flights from Montreal, as well as three weekly flights from Quebec City and a weekly flight from Halifax.

"These additions illustrate our commitment to consolidating our presence in Eastern Canada by offering more non-stop travel options while responding to growing demand for convenient, close-to-home departures," said Ponce.
