Air Transat is increasing its services from London Gatwick to Montreal and Toronto in Canada for the 2023 summer season, including the re-introduction of its seasonal weekly direct flight to Quebec City. Increased services from Gatwick include daily flights to Montreal and double daily flights to Toronto. This comes as Air Transat celebrates 35 years since its first flight from Gatwick to Toronto.

The additions are complemented by the re-introduction of Air Transat’s seasonal weekly direct service to Quebec City operating between 24 June 24 and 17 September – the only UK air link to the Canadian city which launched for the first-time last year.

Sonia Kurek, Commercial Director UK & Ireland for Air Transat, said: “We are delighted to see passenger levels continuing to grow, even after 35 years of operating transatlantic flights to Canada. Air Transat is well placed to satisfy the demand for travellers from the South East with increased frequencies for 2023. Passengers flying from Gatwick can also take advantage of onward connections across Air Transat’s network throughout Canada, and onto Florida and California in the US. We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard our award-winning services.”

Flights from London Gatwick are available to book at airtransat.com or via travel agents, with return fares starting from £414pp. Flights can be booked with maximum flexibility, giving passengers the opportunity to modify their booking at no charge up to 24 hours before departure (excluding Eco Budget fares). Passengers need only to pay the fare difference, if any.
