Air Transit Reduces Summer Flights to Two Florida Destinations
Air Transat has announced significant changes to its flight offerings for the upcoming summer season in 2026. The airline will be reducing its operations, effectively cancelling all U.S. flights during this period.
Flight Reductions to Florida
The airline’s decision affects its routes to Florida, specifically Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. These two cities will see a gradual reduction in flights starting in the spring of 2026. This strategic move aims to help Air Transat better manage its resources.
Current Flight Operations
- Air Transat currently flies to a total of 67 destinations.
- Fort Lauderdale and Orlando are the only U.S. destinations served by the airline.
Future Plans and Market Trends
As for the winter season of 2026-2027, the airline will evaluate its Florida flight program at a later date. This announcement comes amidst a notable decline in Canada-U.S. flight volumes, which fell by over 14 percent year-over-year during the last quarter.
While Air Transat scales back its U.S. offerings, other airlines have been increasing flights to popular holiday destinations in the Caribbean and South America. This shift reflects broader trends in travel preferences.
