The carrier will initially offer three flights a week before moving up to a daily service by the middle of summer.
 
Meanwhile, on 12 May, Air Transat will launch a non-stop route to Quebec City with a direct, weekly service from Gatwick.
 
The carrier has also increased its Gatwick-Toronto service from three times a week to daily, with plans to fly twice daily by the middle of summer.
 
Return fares from Gatwick to Montreal start from £353pp, to Quebec City from £352pp and to Toronto from £348pp, all based on selected dates throughout summer 2022.
 
In Montreal and Toronto, passengers can also connect to onward services to other destinations in Air Transat’s network including Quebec City, Calgary and Vancouver.

Sonia Kurek, commercial director UK & Ireland for Air Transat, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming British travellers back onboard our award-winning services to eastern Canada.

“Montreal has proved a popular destination for many years, and we’re confident that Quebec City will equally enchant visitors with its proximity to stunning national parks and farm-to-table gastronomy.”
