Air Transat (TS, Montréal Trudeau) retired all three of its remaining A310-300(ET)s at the end of March.
The type's last revenue flight was operated on March 30, when C-GSAT (msn 600) flew from Porto via Halifax to Toronto Pearson. The aircraft subsequently joined the other two A310s, C-GPAT (msn 597) and C-GTSY (msn 447), in storage at Montréal Mirabel.
The airline has since confirmed in a statement to ch-aviation that the A310-300s have indeed been permanently withdrawn from service and will not be reactivated after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Air Transat was planning to retire the A310s over the coming months as its new A321-200neo(LR)s deliver from Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac).
According to the ch-aviation fleets module, the three A310-300s are 29.7 years old on average and are owned by Air Transat. The carrier also operates twelve A321-200s, three A321neo(LR)s, sixteen A330-200s, four A330-300s, and five B737-800s.
