"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."

Stephanie Wear, vice-president of aviation development, Gatwick Airport said: "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."
