Air Transat strengthens its presence in France. The scheduled carrier, which tends to focus on the leisure market, is present on seven French ports of call (Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Paris CDG and Toulouse). The company also operates scheduled flights to Brussels and Basel-Mulhouse.

During the summer, Paris-Roissy CDG is linked to five Canadian cities (Calgary, Quebec, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal). However, only the Paris CDG-Montreal route is served all year round. This is now also the case for Lyon and Marseille. The two cities will benefit from 2 to 7 weekly flights, depending on the month, throughout the year.

In addition, services from Nantes will also be extended. Air Transat flights, which initially ended in the autumn, will operate until 13 January 2024. This will give travellers greater flexibility from the west of France.

Cyril Cousin, Director of France and Benelux forAir Transatunderlines: " The annualisation of certain key routes in our flight schedule is an integral part of our objectives, thanks in particular to the agility of our fleet of Airbus A321LR aircraft. Last autumn, we extended our service from Marseille until the end-of-year festivities. Given the success of this initiative, we are delighted to repeat the experience, this time to Nantes. Demand from the French provinces is growing and, as the leading carrier between France and Quebec, we are delighted to be able to offer our in-flight experience to more and more travellers. ".

The routes from the region's three airports are mainly operated with new-generation aircraft Airbus A321LR with a spacious cabin, a large two classes of service (Economy and Club). Both classes include an entertainment system and a USB socket for charging electronic devices.
