On Friday (April 17, 2026), Air Transat revealed their expanded winter 2026/27 schedule which includes four new routes, including Quebec City to San José, Costa Rica, Toronto to Fort-de-France, London (Ontario) to Puerto Plata, and between Charlottetown and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. These routes enhance the airline’s existing sun destination offering, which already includes flights to Cancún and Punta Cana from London (Ontario), as well as Cancún from Charlottetown.  Air Transat will also expand the Toronto–Paris and Montreal–Barcelona routes to year-round service.  The first phase of the carrier’s upcoming winter schedule features attractive additions to sun destinations and the strengthening of Air Transat’s transatlantic offering.

In Friday’s announcement, Transat’s Chief Revenue Officer, Sebastian Ponce, said,

“Demand for sun destinations remains strong, and Transat’s recognized expertise in leisure travel enables us to respond with ambition.  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.”

As previously mentioned, Air Transat continues to grow their 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).  Additionally, the seasonal Québec City–Nantes route, scheduled to launch this summer, will be extended through the holiday period to meet the strong demand.  These additions bolster Air Transat's winter offering and consolidate its position as the leading carrier at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport.

Air Transat is also adding a new route from Toronto to Fort-de-France, Martinique, a popular destination renowned for its cultural richness and unique landscapes. Already offered year-round from Montreal and Quebec City, this destination will now be available seasonally from Toronto, allowing even more travelers to discover this gem of the French Antilles.

Service to Europe will also be increased this winter, with service from Toronto and Paris, as well as between Montreal and Barcelona, previously only operated in summer, becoming year-round routes.  This addition has been designed to better meet the needs of travelers wishing to visit loved ones or plan trips outside the peak season.

Following a pause this summer, Air Transat will also resume service to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida for winter 2026/27.  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.  The return of this iconic sun destination is part of Air Transat's efforts to strengthen its winter offering and reinforce its presence in the most promising markets.
