Air Transat adds five new European routes for summer 2027
Air Transat will launch five new long-haul routes in June 2027, including services from Quebec City to Lyon and Barcelona, Montreal to Geneva and Faro, and Toronto to Birmingham.
Air Transat is expanding its European network for summer 2027 with five new non-stop routes from Canada. The airline will add services to Lyon, Barcelona, Geneva, Birmingham, and Faro, strengthening its coverage across Western Europe.
Quebec City will launch two new seasonal non-stop destinations. A once-weekly service to Lyon, France, begins on June 8, 2027, and operates until October 26. The city will also launch a once-weekly seasonal service to Barcelona-El Prat Airport starting June 14, 2027, operating on Mondays until October 22. Barcelona becomes the first Spanish destination served by a non-stop flight from Québec City, allowing travelers to avoid major hubs in Montreal or Toronto.
Expanded European connectivity from Montreal and Toronto
Montreal adds twice-weekly service to Geneva and weekly service to Faro, while Toronto introduces twice-weekly flights to Birmingham. From Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, new twice-weekly flights to Geneva Airport will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays from June 19 to October 23, 2027. Geneva is a new market for Air Transat. A weekly non-stop service from Montreal to Faro, Portugal, will operate on Mondays from June 14 to October 25, 2027. Air Transat already serves Faro year-round via nonstop flights from Toronto, and no other Canadian airline operates its own flights to Faro.
From Toronto Pearson International Airport, seasonal flights to Birmingham International Airport in the UK will start on June 22, 2027. They will operate twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays until October 22. The airline will become the first North American operator at Birmingham.
Year-round service extensions and network growth
Alongside the new seasonal routes, Air Transat is extending two existing services to operate year-round. The Québec City-Puerto Plata service will shift to year-round operations, with weekly summer service on Mondays. The Montreal-St. Maarten service will also be extended to operate year-round beyond the winter 2027 season.
The new routes are part of Air Transat’s summer 2027 network and support its partnership with Porter Airlines for Canadian connections. Air Transat, Canada's third-largest airline, operates a fleet including Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300, and A321LR aircraft. The expansion adds five new destinations from Canada to Europe and two service extensions.
