The summer season that has just kicked off, leaves room for optimism at Air Transat with regard to Venice flights for the winter Olympics.
8 weekly Toronto-Rome flights
In the wake of strong demand for travel between Canada and Italy, the company has introduced more capacity on routes between the two countries. “In particular- says Tiziana Della Serra, managing director and head of sales & marketing at Rephouse Gsa, which has represented the carrier in Italy for 19 years - the Toronto-Rome route will have eight weekly flights from 29 June (compared to the daily frequencies planned from mid-June) thanks to the double Sunday connection.”
Toronto-Lamezia: a weekly summer flight
The daily flight from Montreal is also confirmed and to Venice there will be two weekly flights from both Toronto and Montreal, from 3 and 5 May respectively. The last route to become active again will be from Lamezia to Toronto, with a weekly flight from 12 June until 2 October. “Overall, in the peak of the 2025 summer season - that is, between the end of June and September - we will operate 20 flights a week.”
“For Venice airport, Canada is an important market”
“The summer resumption of Air Transat flights reflects a growth in traffic volumes that has characterised the flows between Canada and our region in recent years, - comments Camillo Bozzolo, director of aviation development Save Group. -For the catchment area of Venice’s airport, Canada is an important market, with traffic volumes fuelled by tourist, business and family reunion travel. The hope is that, also in view of the 2026 Olympics, which represent an important appointment for the Canadian national teams, the company will extend its flights also during the winter season.”
A very solid relationship with the trade
All of Air Transat's intercontinental flights are operated with Airbus A330-200 or A330-300 aircraft configured in economy and club classes, ‘and on all flights, all fares - including the budget, which is not changeable or refundable - include hand luggage. “We have a very solid relationship with the trade - concludes Tiziana Della Serra - our travel agents are our trusted partners and Rephouse is always at their disposal for any need, information and assistance.”
