Is Air Transat still flying to the U.S.?

What the change means for travelers

Air Transat has announced it will phase out all service to the United States, with the airline ending its remaining U.S. routes by June 2026. The carrier’s decision follows a period of weak demand from Canadian travellers to the U.S., and the latest reductions focus on Florida services that the airline says are no longer commercially sustainable.

Flights already on sale or booked will be handled under the airline’s usual customer-care rules: affected passengers should receive options that typically include rebooking on alternate Air Transat flights where available, a refund for the cancelled itinerary, or travel credit. If you bought a package or booked through a third party, contact that seller directly — their rebooking and refund rules may differ.

Why it matters - Routes that previously provided a direct Canada–U.S. connection will shrink, pushing some travellers to connect via other carriers or Canadian gateway airports. - Seasonal leisure travel to Florida — a key market for many Canadians — will have fewer nonstop options, likely increasing fares on remaining carriers.

Practical steps for affected travellers - Check the airline’s official customer communications and your booking confirmation. Airlines typically email passengers with rebooking or refund instructions. - If you need to preserve award travel or elite benefits, contact loyalty program customer service to understand protections or alternatives. - Compare other carriers serving the same city pairs; larger network airlines and U.S. carriers may still fly the routes. - If your trip is time-sensitive, consider booking a confirmed seat on another carrier rather than waiting for rebooking windows.

It’s still unclear how this will affect Air Transat’s long-term network strategy beyond the U.S. pullback. Travellers with upcoming plans should monitor official notices and act promptly to secure alternatives.
