Sunwing cancels several Thursday flights out of Pearson airport

Several Sunwing flights out of Toronto Pearson International Airport on Thursday have been cancelled. In a statement on its website, the airline said the cancellation of southbound flights would allow it to “prioritize the safe return of customers currently delayed in destinations due to recent weather disruptions, crew availability constraints and extremely limited hotel capacity.” The airline added that customers would receive a full refund to their original form of payment within 21 business days. Sunwing apologized to its customers impacted by the cancellation. “This difficult but essential operational decision allows us to redirect our resources toward bringing delayed customers home as quickly and safely as possible,” Sunwing said. “Our team continues to work diligently to minimize further impact on our operations and support affected passengers.” It is unclear how many flights are impacted. The new cancellations come hours after the airline cancelled a handful of scheduled flights on Wednesday, citing a similar reason.<br/>
