In October, Air Canada reduced its offer to buy Transat by nearly 75%, bringing the deal down to about $188.7 million Canadian dollars ($148.17 million), below $720 million Canadian dollars, as COVID-19 weighed on travel demand, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, the country’s largest airline had obtained Transat shareholder approval for the original deal, in order to bolster its then thriving leisure business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the pandemic affecting ground operations around the world, Air Canada faced shareholder pressure to renegotiate the agreement, which is still pending approval from European and Canadian regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, the major shareholder of both companies described Air Canada’s revised offer as “very reasonable,” noting that the purchase price could be paid to Transat shareholders in cash or Air Canada shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
