By leveraging the strengths of our highly complementary networks, we are committed to delivering more choice to Canadians with a high-quality service," said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat.

Ticket sales for these new flight options, which will progressively open over the next few weeks, begin today for travel starting June 13.
