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.

Air Transat is Canada’s leading holiday travel airline. Every year, it carries some 3 million passengers to nearly 60 destinations in 25 countries aboard its fleet of Airbus wide-body jets. The company employs approximately 2,000 people. Air Transat is a business unit of Transat A.T. Inc., an integrated international tour operator with more than 60 destination countries and that distributes products in over 50 countries.
