Air Transat will launch exclusive new summer seasonal nonstop service between Toronto and Berlin. The route will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays from June 19th through October 24, 2025.
On Wednesday (December 18, 2024), Air Transat announced the launch of exclusive new direct service between Toronto (YYZ) and Berlin (BER) for summer 2025. The seasonal route will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays from June 19th through October 24, 2025. This follows the carrier’s recent announcement of a new route in Valencia in Spain, bringing Transat’s total nonstop routes from Canada to Europe and North Africa to 36.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Transat’s Chief Revenue Officer, Sebastian Ponce, said,
“This new route aligns with our revenue diversification strategy by targeting an important yet underserved market. It also leverages our A321LR aircraft, enabling us to offer a high-quality inflight experience, as well as our joint venture with Porter, which connects the German capital to several major Canadian cities.”
Also commenting on Air Transat’s new Berlin service, Toronto Pearson Airport’s Interim Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Director – Customer Experience and Airline Relations, Kurush Minocher, said,
“Berlin is the third-largest unserved market from Toronto Pearson to Europe with more than 100,000 passengers flying indirect each year. We welcome this new direct flight from Air Transat as it will provide passengers a more seamless travel experience.”
Berlin Airport’s CEO, Aletta von Massenbach, added,
“The new Toronto route to Berlin is an important step in further expanding our long-haul offering. We are delighted to have gained a new strong partner in Air Transat. The connection to Toronto opens up fantastic new travel opportunities for travellers from Berlin and Brandenburg to Canada and North America in general. At the same time, the Capital Region Berlin-Brandenburg is an attractive destination for visitors from Canada.”
Air Transat is bolstering their partnership with Porter Airlines, offering travelers convenient connections from Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Halifax, which will make it easier for Canadians to discover Berlin and its rich cultural heritage.
