After heading into warp speed and with a little bit of luck, Santa headed to the North Pole, where the big man touched down and was able to meet with the children in need of a smile.
“When a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, the life of the entire family is affected,” said Chris Kotsopoulos, chief executive officer of the Children’s Wish Foundation. “Today, we’re not just providing respite from hospital visits, we’re creating wonderful memories and holiday magic to cherish, that are unique to our Wish Families.”

“For Air Transat, this event has become a real tradition just before the holiday season,” said Jean-Francois Lemay, president, Air Transat. “The Santa Flight holds a special place in our employees’ hearts and in our corporate responsibility initiatives.”
During this magical day, Air Transat announced a donation of $116,000 to Children’s Wish, which represents the amounts collected over the past year as part of the air carrier’s Small Change, Big Hearts program and other initiatives, and is in addition to the over $5 million raised for Children’s Wish since the inception of the partnership between both organizations in 2004.
