Sunwing Flight Suspension Extended ‘Til Late July
May 25, 2021 Jim Byers
Sunwing is extending its temporary suspension of flights another five weeks.
A note on the company’s website says the following: “In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing travel restrictions, Sunwing is extending its temporary suspension of flights until July 29, 2021.”
“Customers or their travel agents impacted by cancelled flights are being contacted by Sunwing directly to review their options. For any questions or concerns about cancelled flights, customers can contact their travel agent or get in touch with the Sunwing Sales Centre at 1-877-786-9464.”
Sunwing on April 1 announced the cancellation of all southbound flights to sun destinations and domestic flights to/from British Columbia and Newfoundland for the period from May 1 to June 23, 2021. That followed the company’s January announcement that it and other major Canadian airlines and tour operators were suspending flights to all sun destinations between January 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021.
That means pretty much a full six months without service to sun destinations for Sunwing, with no flights between January 31 and July 29.
