Air Transat and JetBlue have each dropped a transatlantic route from the UK for next summer.
Air Transat will no longer operate its London Gatwick to Quebec City route. The Gatwick-Quebec City route was the only direct service from the UK and it operated once a week between June and October.
Instead, the airline said it will offer more connections from Toronto across Canada for summer 2025, as part of an agreement with Porter Airlines, which it signed a joint venture partnership with in summer 2024.
Summer 2025 flights are now bookable with Air Transat to Toronto, with up to double daily services from Gatwick, up to daily flights from Glasgow and up to six times per week from Manchester as well as up to daily from Dublin.
Air Transat will also operate direct flights from Gatwick to Montreal up to eight times a week. The airline’s summer 2025 programme runs from 5 May to 26 October 2025.
Meanwhile, JetBlue has dropped its Gatwick-New York route for next summer.
JetBlue said: “To better align with anticipated demand, we’ve made the decision not to relaunch our summer seasonal flights between New York’s JFK and London Gatwick Airport.
“We will continue to provide nonstop summer seasonal service to Gatwick from our Boston focus city. As we focus on using our limited aircraft on routes that offer the most opportunity, JetBlue will continue to provide twice-daily service from JFK to London Heathrow and once daily service from Boston to Heathrow.
“Customers booked on affected flights will have the option to connect through Boston, fly to Heathrow, or receive a full refund to their original form of payment.”
