Air Transat’s expanded summer 2026 schedule includes a new London-Gatwick service to Ottawa.
For the first time, Air Transat will offer non-stop transatlantic flights from London-Gatwick to Canada’s capital, starting on May 15, 2026.
The service will operate three times a week on Fridays, Sundays and Tuesdays.
In addition, a new Ottawa–Montreal route will be available from May 5 to October 23, 2026, making it even easier for travellers from Ottawa to access the full Air Transat network.
The airline says the development is driven by the growing network of Air Transat’s partner, Porter Airlines, which is consolidating Ottawa as a major hub in eastern Canada.
Together, the two airlines are improving international access to the Canadian capital while providing travellers with a seamless and convenient connecting journey.
“Our summer 2026 is already shaping up to be exceptional,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat. “We’re accelerating our growth in Quebec City, launching our first transatlantic route from Ottawa, and expanding our international connections. This is just the beginning of a season full of exciting new developments.”
Air Canada also operates a year-round service from London-Heathrow to Ottawa.
