GALA advised Air Transat on the update of its Air Operator Certificate to include additional frequencies and destinations, approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Panama.

This approval marks an important step in support of Air Transat’s continued operations and growth in the Panamanian market, including its Winter 2026–2027 services to Scarlett Martínez International Airport (RIH).

GALA assisted Air Transat with the regulatory process required to update its authorized operations in Panama, including the incorporation of the route between Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) and Scarlett Martínez International Airport (RIH), the adjustment of authorized frequencies, and the corresponding approvals relating to the commercialization and operation of its seasonal services.

We are pleased to support clients in navigating Panama’s aviation regulatory framework and contributing to the continued development of international air connectivity between Canada and Panama.

GALA’s team was led by Cristina Lewis, Partner, with the support of Guillermo A. Chalhoub G., Associate.
