Article content Transat A.T. Inc. has struck a deal to borrow up to $700 million from the federal government and said it would immediately start refunding customers whose travel plans were upended by COVID-19. The fully repayable credit facilities are being made available by the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation under the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility, Transat said Thursday in a statement. Transat said it only plans to use the funds on an as-needed basis. If all of the available facilities are used, the average interest rate will be about six per cent.
