Air Transat has announced a new flight from Toronto Pearson (YYZ)  to Medellin (MDE) via Cartagena (CTG), tapping into what it identifies as a “high potential market” in Colombia.

“Adding Medellín to our network reflects our desire to expand our network while meeting a real demand from our clients for both leisure travel and family reunions,” said Sebastian Ponce, Transat's Chief Revenue Officer. “This expansion is in line with our strategy of targeted growth from Toronto, focusing on high-potential markets such as Colombia.”

The route will operate twice a week, subject to regulatory approvals. Not only will it enable Canadians to visit the mountain city of Medellin more easily, it expands frequency on the Toronto-Cartagena route. 

This approach enables the airline to optimize the use of its fleet while serving cities that are not yet easily accessible by direct flight from Canada. 

The new route joins Air Transat’s other recently announced flights to the south, including Toronto to Georgetown, Guyana, Montreal to Guadalajara and Quebec City to Martinique. Details including operations start dates and opening of sales for Air Transat’s full winter 2025-26 program will be released soon.
