Air Transat has announced the introduction of new direct flights from Québec City to two major European destinations: Barcelona, Spain, and Lyon, France, scheduled to commence in June 2027. This service is expected to provide residents of Québec with increased travel options and convenience for summer trips to these popular locations.

The weekly flights will operate during the summer months, catering to the tourism needs of passengers looking to explore these vibrant cities known for their rich culture, cuisine, and history. The move is part of Air Transat's strategy to expand its airline routes and enhance service offerings to compete in the growing market of international travel from regional Canadian airports.

By enhancing air connectivity, this development is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, potentially boosting tourism and related sectors as more travellers are likely to access these destinations directly from their home province.
