The company announced on Thursday that refunds would be offered to customers who received a travel credit for a trip that was scheduled to start on or after February 1, 2020.
The trip must have been booked by April 29, 2021, and travellers must not have submitted a claim to their insurance company. Refunds will be offered for flights and vacation packages.
Air Transat’s ability to offer the refunds was made possible by a $310 million funding agreement with the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation (CEEFC).
