Air Transat has introduced a revised livery on Airbus A330-200 C-GTSZ, photographed at Montréal-Trudeau Airport in the new colours. The aircraft, formerly operated by Condor, is the first example of an updated brand identity that will be rolled out progressively across the Canadian leisure carrier’s fleet during scheduled maintenance visits, avoiding dedicated repainting events and helping control costs.
The redesigned scheme retains Air Transat’s white fuselage, blue tail and star logo, but replaces the previous lettering with a larger, lowercase, single-colour blue “air transat” title. The tail is now a darker blue that transitions to a lighter shade towards the fuselage. The former silver stripe, dark rear-fuselage accents and small star near the tail have been removed.
Air Transat last refreshed its livery nine years ago for its 30th anniversary. The carrier currently operates 41 aircraft, comprising 26 Airbus A321s and 15 A330s. Its A330 fleet averages about 20 years of age, and the airline is working towards replacing the widebodies between 2029 and 2032.
C-GTSZ previously flew for Condor from Düsseldorf during the winter of 2017-18 in Condor and Thomas Cook colours. The deployment formed part of an aircraft-exchange arrangement in which Air Transat supplied widebodies for Caribbean services from Europe and received A321s for southern routes. The cooperation ended after Thomas Cook collapsed in 2019.
