Gatwick to Montreal flights have been relaunched by Air Transat for the first time since 2019.
An initial three flights a week will rise to a daily service by the middle of summer.
The airline’s first non-stop route to Quebec City starts on May 12 with a weekly service from Gatwick.
Air Transat has also increased its Gatwick-Toronto service from three times a week to daily, with plans to fly twice daily by mid-summer.
Return economy fares to Montreal start at £353, to Quebec City from £352 and to Toronto from £348.
Passengers flying to Montreal and Toronto can also connect to onward services to other destinations in Air Transat’s network, including Quebec City, Calgary and Vancouver.
Air Transat is deploying an all-Airbus fleet on the transatlantic services, including new A321neo long range single aisle aircraft.
UK and Ireland commercial director Sonia Kurek said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming British travellers back on board our award-winning services to eastern Canada.
“Montreal has proved a popular destination for many years, and we’re confident that Quebec City will equally enchant visitors with its proximity to stunning national parks and farm-to-table gastronomy. Air Transat is honoured to be providing the first ever link for UK travellers to this amazing destination.”
Gatwick aviation development vice president Stephanie Wear added: “We are delighted to welcome Air Transat’s expansion at Gatwick through two exciting new routes to Canada – a country with which so many of us in the UK have such close connections.
“Being the first airport in the UK to ever have a direct link to Quebec City is fantastic news for passengers looking for a beautiful area of Canada to explore, as well as those looking to visit family and friends, and conduct business in Quebec City and the wider province. We are equally thrilled to see the return of Air Transat’s Montreal connection – another wonderful city full of history and culture.”
