Air Transat has set out a replacement window for its A330s in 2029-32, giving the carrier a clearer timetable for its next widebody move. Sebastián Ponce said the fleet still fits the airline’s seasonal leisure model, but the aircraft are aging and will need renewal as Transat finalises its strategic plan.
No successor type is selected yet. The airline is channeling capital and management attention into the Elevation Program, while its only firm aircraft order remains four A321XLRs due in late 2027. Those jets will open thinner transatlantic sectors and may absorb some missions now handled by widebodies, but they will not remove the need for a new A330 class. The procurement clock has started.
