Air Transat will increase flights to Canada from the UK next year with the launch of a new Gatwick-Quebec City service and the restart of non-stop flights from the London airport to Montreal.
Flights to Montreal are set to resume in May 2022, with daily services from June to September. The weekly flight from Gatwick to Quebec will operate every Thursday from May to September.
The new routes follow the Canadian carrier’s return to the UK last September with a three-times weekly service from Gatwick to Toronto, that will be upgraded to a daily flight from May 2022.
Next summer, up to 14 flights per week will be offered between the two travel hubs.
The carrier also restarted its weekly service to Toronto from Manchester in October and is set to restart the route from Glasgow on 16 December, 2021.
Sonia Kurek, commercial director of UK, Ireland and GSA markets for Air Transat, said there was a "pent-up demand" for travel to Canada.
"Air Transat is thrilled to be the first airline to operate a direct flight between Gatwick and Quebec City, thus allowing British travellers to discover this must-see destination," she added.
"Thanks to our renewed fleet, now one of the world’s most modern, and an enhanced domestic flight programme offering multiple connections via Montreal and Toronto, it will be easier than ever to discover the Great White North next summer."
Return economy class flights from Gatwick to Montreal start at £374pp, and to Quebec from £443pp.
