Air Transat to launch flights to Africa

Air Transat is a Montreal-headquartered carrier with plans to launch its first flight to the African continent this year. Air Transat plans to operate twice-weekly flights from Montreal (YUL, Canada) to Marrakesh (RAK, Morocco) starting on the 12th of June. From October 2024 to March 2025, the schedule will be reduced to a once weekly flight. Flights are currently scheduled onboard an Airbus A321LR.

Annick Guérard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transat said, “With the addition of Marrakech to our portfolio of transatlantic destinations, the first in Africa, we are consolidating the diversification of our network. This exclusive, year-round service will meet the growing demand, generated by the significant presence of the Moroccan community in Montreal and the undeniable tourist appeal of Marrakech.”
