Air Transat Cancels Summer Flights to the U.S.
Air Transat has announced the cancellation of its U.S. flights for the 2026 summer season. This decision is part of the airline’s strategy to effectively manage its resources.
Details of the Cancellations
- Flights to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando in Florida will gradually begin winding down in spring 2026.
- These locations are the only U.S. destinations served by Air Transat.
- The airline currently operates flights to 67 destinations worldwide.
Future Flight Programs
Marie-Eve Vallières, a spokeswoman for Air Transat, indicated that plans for the Florida flight program in the 2026-2027 winter season will be determined at a later date. This announcement reflects a broader trend within the aviation industry.
Market Trends
Recent data highlights a significant decline in Canada-U.S. flight volumes. Reports from Cirium revealed that the volume decreased by over 14 percent year-over-year during the last quarter. In contrast, airlines are increasing flights to popular holiday destinations in the Caribbean and South America.
As Air Transat navigates these changes, travelers will need to stay informed about new developments regarding their flight options.
