Saskatchewan’s snowbirds got some good news Tuesday.
James Bogusz, the president and CEO of the Regina Airport Authority, announced Sunwing will offer flights from Regina to six tropical locales during the 2021-22 vacation season.
“We are thrilled that Sunwing is returning to southern Saskatchewan with a variety of quality winter holiday travel options,” Bogusz said in a media release. “Our partnership with Sunwing allows YQR to once again be the local gateway for winter travel.”
