Late last week, Air Transat operated its first-ever flight connecting YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport to Valencia International Airport (TS276).
This exclusive non-stop route, the only one from North America, will operate nearly year-round, allowing Canadian travellers to enjoy Valencia’s sun in both summer and winter. It complements TS’s existing service to three other Spanish cities: Barcelona, Madrid, and Malaga.
“The Montreal-Valencia non-stop flight further strengthening our leadership not only in Spain, but the transatlantic network,” stated Sebastian Ponce, Transat’s Chief Revenue Officer.
“Furthermore, this destination choice perfectly aligns our strategy to diversify revenue and reduce seasonality of our operations. It’s a testament to our expertise, and we couldn’t be prouder to see the Air Transat star soaring towards Valencia.”
Adding to the flight option, Transat is offering à la carte hotels as well as packages and tours, for Valencia-bound travellers.
“We are confident that this exclusive new service will significantly bolster Spain’s presence in the Canadian market by substantially increasing air connectivity,” said Isabel Martin, Consul for Tourism Affairs at the Embassy of Spain in Canada.
“It now provides Canadian travel enthusiasts with unprecedented access to Valencia, a vibrant city known for its consistent sunshine, exceptional gastronomy, and its prestigious designation as European Green Capital 2024. This direct route signifies not only a fantastic tourism opportunity but also strengthens the commercial and cultural bonds between Canada and Spain,” Martin added.
Air Transat will operate the new route with the Airbus A321LR, featuring ergonomic cabins and an advanced inflight entertainment system. The A321LR is also equipped with Club Class seats, so passengers can enjoy a premium experience as they travel to their destination.
