Dominican Ambassador meets with Air Transat

Montreal, Canada.- During his visit to Montreal, Dominican Ambassador to Canada, José Blanco, met with Air Transat CEO Annick Guérard and other executives to discuss the airline’s plans for the Dominican Republic. The meeting focused on potential expansions of routes and destinations from Canada in the coming years.

Blanco thanked Air Transat for its continued trust in the Dominican Republic and emphasized the country’s commitment to strengthening alliances with airlines that boost tourism and bilateral trade. The discussions align with the Dominican government’s recent efforts to expand connectivity, including four new routes announced by Tourism Minister David Collado, set to launch in 2025.

Air Transat, Canada’s leading vacation airline, already operates direct flights from major Canadian cities to Dominican destinations like Punta Cana, Samaná, La Romana, and Puerto Plata. Since receiving approval for expanded operations in 2017, the airline has consistently increased its flights, reinforcing Canada’s role as a key market for Dominican tourism.
