Air Transat Announces Addition of Medellín to its Toronto Cartagena Route

Canadian airline Air Transat has announced the launch of a new route between Toronto (YYZ) and Medellín (MDE), via Cartagena (CTG). This new twice-weekly service will connect Canadians with one of Colombia’s most dynamic and mountainous cities, while also improving access to the popular destination of Cartagena.

“Adding Medellín to our network reflects our desire to expand our network while meeting a real demand from our clients for both leisure travel and family reunions,” said Sebastian Ponce, Transat’s chief revenue officer. “This expansion is in line with our strategy of targeted growth from Toronto, focusing on high-potential markets such as Colombia.”

The new service, which is still subject to final regulatory approval, will also add a frequency to the flight schedule to Cartagena from Toronto, strengthening Air Transat’s presence in this destination. This approach, says Air Transat, enables the airline to optimize the use of its fleet while serving cities that are not yet easily accessible by direct flight from Canada.

Air Transat says that its full Winter 2025-2026 program, including the start date of operations and the opening of sales, will be announced soon.
