Labour and engine woes push Transat to a loss as travel company curtails expansion

Transat nearly doubled its losses to $54.4 million in the three months ended April 30 compared with the same period a year earlier. More cash departed its coffers despite a 12 per cent year-over-year boost in revenue, fuelled by an increase in passengers.

They also resulted from"intensified competition" on routes to sun destinations and the drawn-out possibility of a work stoppage, the Montreal-based company said. Air Transat is also among the carriers facing serious knock-on effects from the recall of Pratt & Whitney turbofan jet engines for inspection and repair.

Transat also launched on Wednesday the first phase of its joint venture with Porter Airlines that Guérard hopes will yield benefits via access to its partner's rapidly growing network in Canada and the United States.
