Sunwing cancels Winnipeg flights to second Mexican destination

Starting in February, travellers will not have the ability to fly with Sunwing between Winnipeg and two Mexican locations, the corporate confirmed.

On Wednesday, CTV News Winnipeg obtained an e-mail from a viewer saying the corporate would now not be flying to Los Cabos, Mexico beginning on Feb. 2.

On Thursday the corporate confirmed that news and added it’s going to even be stopping flights to Mazatlán, Mexico, on Feb. 10.

“We apologize to our valued customers and airport partner in Winnipeg for the inconvenience and disruption. The decision to reduce winter flight operations in Winnipeg from February onwards was deemed necessary due to operational and business constraints that would prevent us from delivering the standards of service our customers both expect and deserve when travelling with Sunwing,” Sunwing mentioned in a ready assertion to CTV News Winnipeg.

The firm mentioned it’s providing folks the flexibility to vary their trip vacation spot in addition to a $100 future journey credit score.

“We are hopeful that customers will continue to travel with us to more destinations down south, while we work to re-establish a full program from Winnipeg for the 2023-2024 winter season.”

In a ready assertion to CTV News Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Airports Authority mentioned it’s disappointing to see routes being paused or cancelled.

“Air connectivity plays a crucial role in the community as it helps strengthen our economy through the creation of jobs and provides all those who live and work here better access to the world,” the assertion mentioned.

Even although the Los Cabos route is being cancelled, the WAA mentioned it’s happy different locations will stay.

“We look forward to working further with them and all our other airline partners to help meet the needs of Manitobans, and we will continue to do everything we can to grow travel options out of Winnipeg Richardson International Airport.”
