WestJet says Sunwing integration will be complete by Oct 2024

The WestJet Group said its goal is to complete integration of Sunwing Airlines into WestJet Airlines by Oct. 2024.

"As we execute upon our network strategy to serve the Canadian leisure market from coast-to-coast, we look forward to consolidating Sunwing Airlines’ 737 aircraft with that of WestJet's, enhancing our ability to meet the diverse travel and product needs of all Canadians," said Alexis von Hoensbroech, CEO of the WestJet Group.

"Integration work will prioritize a seamless transition for Sunwing's customers and employees as we work together to bring enhanced sun and leisure offerings to communities across the country and ensure jobs for those transferring to WestJet from Sunwing Airlines."

According to the group, the integration will have no impact on Sunwing Vacations Group and its associated vacations brands.

It also reiterated that the integration of Swoop will be fully completed by Oct. 28 of this year.
