Air Transat Debuts Nonstop Montreal to Valencia, Spain, Route

DORVAL — Last week, Air Transat (TS) operated its first-ever flight connecting  Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Valencia International Airport (VLC).

Canadians will be able to fly to Valencia almost year-round thanks to this nonstop route, TS276, which is the only one from North America. Barcelona, Madrid, and Malaga are the other three Spanish cities to which TS now offers service.

The new route will be flown by TS using its Airbus A321LR, which provides passengers with a comfortable and enjoyable flying experience, thanks to its ergonomic cabins and advanced in-flight entertainment system.

Additionally, it features Club Class seats, enabling travelers to enjoy a premium journey to their destination.

Comments from Air Transat, Spanish Embassy

“The Montreal-Valencia non-stop flight further strengthening our leadership not only in Spain, but the transatlantic network,” stated Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat. “Furthermore, this destination choice perfectly aligns our strategy to diversify revenue and reduce seasonality of our operations. It's a testament to our expertise, and we couldn't be prouder to see the Air Transat star soaring towards Valencia.”

Isabel Martin, Consul for Tourism Affairs at the Embassy of Spain in Canada, said, "We are confident that this exclusive new service will significantly bolster Spain's presence in the Canadian market by substantially increasing air connectivity. It now provides Canadian travel enthusiasts with unprecedented access to Valencia, a vibrant city known for its consistent sunshine, exceptional gastronomy, and its prestigious designation as European Green Capital 2024. This direct route signifies not only a fantastic tourism opportunity but also strengthens the commercial and cultural bonds between Canada and Spain."
