Cozumel
MONTREAL, Aug. 11,
2023 /CNW/ - Air Transat, recently voted World's
Best Leisure Airline for the fifth time at the Skytrax World
Airline Awards, is proud to announce it will offer exclusive direct
flights to Lima, Peru, from both
Montreal and Toronto this winter*. This program expansion
will create a new gateway to South
America for fans of gastronomy, history and breathtaking
natural sites, in addition to the flights already offered to
Colombia. Recently, the company
also announced that it will be relaunching its route between
Montreal and the tropical island
of Cozumel, Mexico.
"We are proud to add Lima to
our portfolio of destinations on three continents," said Michèle
Barre, Transat's Chief Revenue Officer. "This strategic expansion
allows us to diversify our long-haul offering by maximising the use
of our A321LR aircraft, and to capitalize on the sustained growth
of tourism in South America.
Meanwhile, we are consolidating our presence in the Mexican market
– a key destination of our Caribbean winter program – by restarting our
operations in Cozumel."
Toronto–Lima flights will be operated twice weekly, on
Wednesdays and Saturdays, from December 20
to April 24; in addition, Montreal–Lima flights will be
operated once weekly, on Fridays, from December 22 to April 26.

all-inclusive packages to Cozumel
at select hotel partners.
These flights will be operated with new generation Airbus A321LR

in their class.
