Air Transat A.T. Inc. is a Canadian airline headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. Founded in 1986, it commenced operations on November 14, 1987, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transat A.T. Inc., an integrated international tourism company specializing in holiday travel. The airline is recognized as Canada's leading leisure airline, primarily focusing on vacation destinations.

The airline's main operational base and hub is Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), with Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) also serving as a major hub. Additionally, it has focus cities at Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport and Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport. Air Transat operates an all-Airbus fleet, which, as of November 2025, consists of 43 aircraft. The fleet primarily comprises Airbus A330-200s, A330-300s, A321-200s (A321ceo), and the newer, more fuel-efficient A321LRs (A321neo family). Some Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets have also been operated through wet-lease agreements.

Air Transat's route network is extensive, covering over 60 international destinations in more than 25 countries across the Americas, Europe, and North Africa, along with domestic and connecting flights within Canada. During the winter season, the airline focuses on destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, the United States, and Central America, while its summer schedule emphasizes European routes. Air Transat is not a member of major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. However, it has established a "joint venture" with Porter Airlines called the 'Alliance,' which expands their codesharing network. It also maintains codeshare agreements with other airlines, including Flair Airlines and Turkish Airlines, and interline agreements, notably with Air Europa. The airline offers two main cabin classes: Club Class (a premium economy/business class hybrid) and Economy Class. Club Class features a dedicated, spacious cabin with wider seats, gourmet meal options, and priority services such as check-in, boarding, and baggage handling. Economy Class provides ergonomic leather seats, personal inflight entertainment screens, and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. Travelers can also choose from various fare options—Eco Budget, Eco Standard, and Eco Flex—which offer different levels of flexibility and baggage benefits, and an Option Plus upgrade for additional perks in Economy.
