Transat annonce qu'elle ajoute un Airbus A310-300 à sa flotte, ce qui porte le nombre de ses gros porteurs à dix-sept. L'appareil, le treizième Airbus A310 d'Air Transat, effectuera cette fin de semaine son premier vol de Montréal vers le Sud. Par ailleurs, de nouveaux vols vers des destinations soleil au départ de Régina et de Winnipeg seront programmés jusqu'à la fin de la saison d'hiver. Cet ajout à la flotte a entraîné l'embauche de 74 agents de bord et de 14 pilotes. Le transporteur rappelle qu'à compter de mai 2008, il augmentera l'espace entre les sièges en classe Economie sur chacun de ses appareils afin de procurer plus de confort à ses passagers. La modification fera passer l'espace entre chaque rangée de sièges de 30 à 32 pouces en moyenne. Dès la fin du mois de mai 2008, tous les Airbus A310 compteront ainsi 249 sièges, soit 229 en classe Economie et 20 en classe Club. Air Transat exploite également quatre Airbus A330 qui compteront 342 sièges cet été.
Au cours de l'été 2008, Vacances Transat et Air Transat ajoutent Bâle-Mulhouse à leurs destinations. Située à la frontière de la France et de la Suisse, Bâle-Mulhouse offre aux voyageurs un accès direct à la Suisse ou à l'Alsace du côté français. La Suisse vient s'ajouter aux 10 autres pays proposés par Air Transat en Europe, soit l'Allemagne, le Royaume-Uni, l'Autriche, la Belgique, l'Espagne, la France, la Grèce, l'Irlande, l'Italie et les Pays-Bas. Des nouvelles liaisons seront aussi lancées cet été de Montréal à Dublin, de Toronto à Nice et de Vancouver et Calgary à Paris.

Re: Air Transat
Hey, I know that Transat has some very good interline connections. I believe Westjet, British Airways and Northwest are among the partners.
As for the press release below, it's good that Transat are adding some much needed legroom in economy! Their Club Class product is very good, but I've always found their economy product to be borderline unacceptable, especially for long-haul flights.

I'm confirming for WestJet, they have stand by low rates agreement with them. Not sure about the others tho.
