Great news, just one month after the inaugural flight! 🎉
Air Transat has just announced that its direct Montreal–Dakar route (the only one directly connecting Canada to West Africa) will operate year-round.
Starting October 30, 2026, and running through March 26, 2027, a weekly flight every Friday will provide service throughout the winter season, operated by the Airbus A330, the largest aircraft in Air Transat’s fleet.
This isn’t a surprise…it’s confirmation! The demand is real, the human ties between our two countries are deep, and this route is here to strengthen those ties!
For the Senegalese diaspora in Quebec, for families, entrepreneurs, and travelers on both sides of the Atlantic: the path to Dakar (or to Montreal!) remains open, even in winter.
Nio far 🤝
