Air Transat has launched its exclusive nonstop service between Montreal and Marrakech.

The first flight (TS396) departed Montréal-Trudeau International Airport last night, marking the beginning of the year-round connection to Marrakech-Menara International Airport.

This new route will operate twice weekly during the summer until October and once weekly during the winter from November to April.

The direct service is the only one of its kind between Canada and Marrakech.

“We are extremely proud to introduce this new route between Montreal and Marrakech,” said Joseph Adamo, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Transat.

He added: ”This direct route will allow the Moroccan diaspora to reunite more easily with their loved ones while offering Canadian travellers a unique opportunity to discover the cultural and historical wonders of Morocco. This is a major milestone in our history, demonstrating our commitment to creating memorable and meaningful travel experiences.”

Clients can add on packages, guided tours, and à la carte hotel options.

Flights will be operated with Air Transit’s new-generation Airbus A321LR aircraft.
