Air Transat has unveiled its schedule for the 2024 summer season with an expansion to major cities in the province of Quebec. This schedule reflects the steady recovery of pre-pandemic capacity in key European markets and sunny destinations. During the peak season, the leisure airline will provide more than 180 weekly flights, with nearly 40 destinations.
