This new service, operating twice weekly, responds to the growing demand from Canadian travelers interested in both tourism and family reunification trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As explained by Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer of Transat, &#8220;Adding Medell\u00edn to our network reflects our desire to expand while meeting the real demand of our customers.&#8221; This move aligns with the selective growth strategy from Toronto, focused on high-potential markets like Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fleet Optimization and Smart Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A standout feature of this new operation is the optimized use of the fleet. By combining two Colombian destinations into a single route, the airline achieves a more efficient and profitable operation while offering more options to its passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/05\/air-transat-to-fly-between-toronto-and-georgetown-guyana-in-winter.html\">Air Transat to Fly Between
