Air Transat Introduces Non-Stop Service to Agadir
In a significant development for travelers from North America, Air Transat has officially launched its direct flight service between Montreal and Agadir, Morocco, with the inaugural flight TS492 taking off last Friday. This new route marks Air Transat as the only carrier providing non-stop flights to Agadir from the North American region. Following Marrakech, Agadir becomes the second Moroccan destination offered by the airline from Montreal, with this seasonal service scheduled to operate once a week on Fridays until October 23, 2026.
According to Sébastian Ponce, the Chief Revenue Officer at Transat, "This launch to Agadir aligns with our ambition to strengthen exclusive access to Morocco and expand our presence on the African continent. It addresses a significant growth in demand and contributes to both tourism development and the strengthening of community ties between Canada and Morocco." Passengers can expect to travel in the comfort of the modern Airbus A321LR, an aircraft celebrated for its efficiency and passenger comfort. Onboard, travelers can enjoy a well-designed cabin featuring ergonomic seating and a state-of-the-art entertainment system in both Economy and Club Class.
