The Canadian airline will operate the flights with Airbus A330s that feature more than 330 seats in both Club Class and Economy Class.

“Air Transat offers an outstanding quality option to all market segments in Greece to visit and explore the world’s friendliest destination: Canada. With direct flights to and from Montreal and Toronto, Greek Canadians will be able to seamlessly visit their relatives in both Greece and Canada, flying non-stop from Athens International airport,” said Dino Frantzeskakis from Discover the World Greece.

Athens International Airport (AIA) welcomed Air Transat’s first flight of the year from Toronto on May 29. The welcoming ceremony of the resumption of non-stop seasonal flights was held at the departure gate, surprising both arriving and departing passengers. Among the guests were the Canadian Senior Trade Commissioner Neil Swain from the Canadian Embassy in Athens, representatives of the Canadian Institute in Greece and representative of “Friends of Canada” in Greece.
