New flight route from Lyon to Quebec

Air Transat, a Canadian airline, has announced a new direct flight route connecting Lyon, France, to Quebec City, Canada, for the summer of 2027. The flight will operate once a week, with departures from Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport on Wednesdays and returns on Tuesdays, running from June 8 to October 26, 2027.

No stopover for Lyon-Quebec travelers

This new route will allow passengers to travel directly from Lyon to Quebec City without any stopover, offering a more convenient option for travelers. The direct flight is expected to enhance the appeal of Quebec as a tourist destination for European visitors.

Part of a broader expansion plan

The Lyon-Quebec flight is one of five new non-stop routes that Air Transat has announced for the summer of 2027. These routes are designed to expand the airline’s reach and provide more travel options for customers in Europe and North America.

Other routes include Geneva-Montreal and more

In addition to the Lyon-Quebec route, Air Transat plans to launch a flight between Geneva, Switzerland, and Montreal, Canada. Three other routes are also in the works: Barcelona to Quebec, Faro to Montreal, and Birmingham to Toronto.

Company aims to enhance travel experiences

Sebastian Ponce, head of revenue at Air Transat, stated that the new routes are intended to complement each other and offer diverse travel experiences. The expansion is meant to improve access to Canadian destinations from the markets where the company is already active.
