Air Transat says that at the height of the season it will operate more than 250 direct flights weekly on 69 direct routes.

The increase follows an easing of pandemic-related travel restrictions.

Joseph Adamo, Transat’s chief sales and marketing officer, says the outlook for the summer season is favourable as the company looks to respond to significant pent-up demand.

Adamo says the surge in demand has also allowed the company to increase capacity on certain key routes between now and the end of the winter season.
