That service will run on Wednesdays fro Dec. 18 through April 8, 2020.

“We are delighted to be returning to the Waterloo Region and to be offering twice as many flight services this winter,” said Andrew Dawson, president of tour operations for Sunwing. “Cancun is one of our most popular vacation destinations and we’re sure it will be well received by our customers.”

The relaunched Cuba flights will mean its first direct flights from Montreal to Havana since 2012.
