Direct Toronto–Istanbul Flights Start in December 2025 with New Air Transat-Turkish Airlines Tie-Up
Air Transat will open a direct link between Toronto Pearson and Istanbul on 6 December 2025. The carrier says the flight will run every Tuesday and Saturday, all year, and will use its Airbus A330 wide-bodies. The move inserts Air Transat into a market that has lacked a second Canadian operator for more than a decade. According to industry sources, the interline deal signed the same day with Turkish Airlines gives the project an instant network boost.
