The airline announced it will halt flights to two Florida services in 2026.
These are to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.
“Air Transat is canceling its flights to Florida for the 2026 summer season, with a gradual end of operations in the spring,” the airline said.
It hasn’t yet confirmed if they will restart for winter.
“The flight program to Florida for the 2026–2027 winter season will be determined at a later date.”
Air Transat’s US services only represent about 1% of its overall passenger capacity during the summer season.

It’s not the only airline pulling out of US routes.
