Air Transat has revealed three new flights that will be flying from Montreal this winter. Oranjestad, Aruba (AUA), Bridgetown, Barbados (BGI) and San José del Cabo, Mexico (SJD) were announced as the newest destinations for Montreal passengers looking for a little sun. 

"Demand for sun destinations remains strong, and these three new routes from Montreal allow us to meet that demand by expanding our offering," explained Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat. "By adding Aruba, Barbados and Los Cabos, we are continuing to execute a strategy focused on diversifying and optimizing our network to the South, for the benefit of our clients." 

Representatives from the airport administration were also enthusiastic about the new routes. "ADM Aéroports de Montréal is pleased with these new routes served by Air Transat, which will allow travellers to discover vibrant tourist destinations rich in culture," said Karl Brochu, Vice President, Airport Operations and Air Services Development at ADM. "We are very happy to support our partner Air Transat in expanding its service offering with these new sun destinations that meet the needs of various traveller segments. An airport that offers a diverse and accessible range of services is an airport that creates value for its entire community." 

The new routes will commence in December, running weekly or twice-weekly during the season. They are now available for booking.
