Air transportation

It is very important for an international tour operator to be able to secure airline seats on good terms and, where possible, have better control over part of this supply and the related costs. When a tour operator has control over a significant part of its air capacity, as is the case with Transat, it is better positioned to develop an appropriate and flexible offering that meets travellers’ requirements.

A wholly owned Transat business unit, Air Transat is Canada’s largest carrier specializing in holiday travel. Each year, the airline carries approximately 2.5 million passengers to 60 destinations in 25 countries. Air Transat’s fleet comprises 18 Airbus A330s and A310s.
