AIR TRANSAT

Established 1987
Based in Montreal, Quebec with additional bases in Toronto and Vancouver

Air Transat is Canada's third largest airline after Air Canada and WestJet and currently holds the distinction of "World's Best Leisure Airline." However, they may be best known for the 2001 "Azores Incident" in which a fuel starved A330 en route to Lisbon from Toronto made the longest non-powered flight and landing by a commercial airliner in history. The cause of the incident was a fuel leak in the number two engine due to an incorrect part being installed by their maintenance crew. This aircraft was repaired and remains in service with Air Transat today. Air Transat has also proven itself a world-leader in environmental advancements.
