Competitive Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This landmark agreement marks a substantial progression in implementing Transat’s strategic plan and a significant achievement in establishing a more sustainable and competitive network,” stated Annick Gu\u00e9rard, President and Chief Executive of Air Transat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porter is currently reshaping the North American market through a substantial continental expansion, and this alliance will only amplify its impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mutual flow of passengers between both carriers will empower Porter to strengthen its network by increasing flight frequency on vital domestic and transborder routes and exploring new markets with reduced reliance on point-to-point traffic,” remarked Michael Deluce, President and CEO of Porter Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carriers expect to implement the JV in 2024. They have had a codeshare agreement in place since 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
