Air Transat extends its Toronto-Berlin flights for summer 2027
The Canadian carrier will start flights between Toronto and Berlin on 1 May 2027, maintaining operations until 28 October using its Airbus A321 LR fleet.
Air Transat will lengthen its seasonal transatlantic operation between Toronto and Berlin Brandenburg (BER) for the 2027 summer flight schedule. Operations will commence on 1 May 2027 and run through 28 October 2027, widening the seasonal operating window by several weeks compared to earlier years in response to steady passenger demand.
The carrier plans a phased frequency adjustment throughout the period:
- Two weekly rotations starting 1 May 2027.
- Three weekly flights during the peak period from 14 June to 2 October 2027.
- A return to two weekly services until the season concludes on 28 October 2027.
Air Transat operates the route using narrowbody Airbus A321 LR aircraft. Initially opened in June 2025, the connection marked the carrier's return to Germany after exiting Berlin in 2009 and Frankfurt am Main in 2014. Further route expansion in Germany remains linked to future fleet arrivals, specifically the Airbus A321 XLR. Those deliveries are expected in early 2027 following delays caused by supply chain bottlenecks and certification schedules.
