North America's largest leisure airline with integrated vacation packages
Air Transat operates Canada's leading leisure airline paired with a broader vacation package business spanning 60 destinations across 25+ countries. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operational profile: enterprise backends (SAP, SQL Server, Azure) sit alongside modern analytics (Snowflake, Looker, Google Analytics) and emerging AI tooling (RAG, MLOps), while adopting a translation management system suggests expansion into non-English markets. Hiring velocity is accelerating with operations and engineering leading—a pattern consistent with their active modernization and billing-system implementation projects.
