Sunwing's troubles mount: Airline cancels remainder of its winter flights out of Regina

People planning getaways from Regina via Sunwing Airlines are being forced to find another option. In an email statement to CBC News Tuesday, the airline confirmed it is cancelling the remainder of its winter flights from Regina International Airport "due to extenuating circumstances," effective Feb. 4, 2023. It's the latest bout of turbulence for the airline that had already cancelled all service in Saskatchewan between Dec. 29, 2022 through to Feb. 3, 2023. "We sincerely apologize to our valued customers and airport partner in Regina for the inconvenience and disruption," the statement reads. "Following the preliminary cancellations in January, the difficult decision to cancel more of our winter program was necessary due to operational and business constraints that would prevent us from delivering the standards of service our customers in Regina expect and deserve when travelling with Sunwing." The latest round of cancellations affects weekly flights to Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic from Regina, with the exception of Sunday departures to Puerto Vallarta starting on Feb. 5.<br/>
