10:36 AM EDT, 10/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Air Transat (TRZ.TO) Wednesday unveiled major additions to its summer 2026 network to develop its presence in Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

The airline will now offer exclusive transatlantic routes such as Quebec City-Marseille and Ottawa-London Gatwick, and annualize several southern routes from Montreal, Quebec City and Toronto. An Ottawa-Montreal route will also be available from May to late October next year. The changes are driven by the growing network of Air Transat's partner, Porter Airlines, which is consolidating Ottawa as a major hub in eastern Canada, a statement said.

"Our summer 2026 is already shaping up to be exceptional," said Sebastian Ponce, chief revenue officer.

"We're accelerating our growth in Quebec City, launching our first transatlantic route from Ottawa, and expanding our international connections. This is just the beginning of a season full of exciting new developments."

Transat shares are up $0.02, to $2.55, on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
