Air Transat celebrates its first direct flight from Quebec City to Roatan

Montreal, December 27, 2016 – Air Transat is proud to have inaugurated its first direct flight from Quebec City to the Honduran island of Roatan on Monday. This new service will be offered every Monday until April 10, 2017.

Surrounded by a staggeringly rich coral reef, the island mainly draws scuba divers. However, with its wide array of exciting activities, divers aren’t the only ones sure to spend an unforgettable holiday under Roatan’s indefatigable sun.
