Air Transat launched its first-ever non-stop flight between YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport and Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) on Dec. 13.

The new service that runs twice weekly — Thursdays and Saturdays – is now offered until June 27, 2026. This is Air Transat’s sixth Mexican destination, reinforcing its status as Montreal’s top carrier to the South.

Additionally, on Dec. 14, Air Transat operated its first non-stop flight between Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) and Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (FDF). This inaugural service marks the start of a year-round route that gives travellers from Quebec City a convenient gateway to the French Antilles.

Sebastian Ponce, Transat’s Chief Revenue Officer, said: “The addition of Guadalajara from Montreal and Fort-de-France from Quebec City reflects our commitment to offering travellers even more ways to explore vibrant destinations.”

Ponce continued: “These new routes not only enrich our network but also create meaningful connections – whether it’s immersing in Mexico’s cultural heart, connecting our Mexican community in Quebec, or enjoying Martinique’s unique charm – all with the convenience and comfort Air Transat is known for.”

Both new routes are operated using the Airbus A321LR, an aircraft recognized for its efficiency and passenger comfort. The cabin design combines ergonomic seating with a modern inflight entertainment system, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. Travellers can choose between Economy and Club Class, both of which offer Air Transat’s signature service and attention to detail.
