Sunwing Expands Victoria Operations

Sunwing is offering Victoria residents more options to explore the sunny south this winter with the addition of new weekly flights to Mazatlán and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.

Travellers can fly to Mazatlán on Saturdays starting Dec. 21, 2019 until March 28, 2020 and to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo on Sundays starting Dec. 22, 2019 until March 29, 2020.

With the addition of these two new flights, Victoria residents can now choose from four tropical destinations this winter including returning favourites Huatulco and Los Cabos.

Andrew Dawson, president of tour operations for Sunwing, said: “We are excited to be returning to Victoria International Airport and expanding our operations in the region with the addition of two new flight services this winter. We’re sure the destinations of Mazatlán and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo will be well received by residents of the Greater Victoria region.”

Geoff Dickson, president and chief executive of the Victoria Airport Authority, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Sunwing’s new flights to Mazatlán and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and we appreciate their commitment to this market. We know the Greater Victoria community enjoys travelling to sun-spot destinations during the winter months and the convenience these new non-stop services allows them to get to their destination sooner to start enjoying their vacations.”

Travellers who choose to take advantage of the new weekly flight service to Mazatlán could stay at El Cid Castilla Beach, with activities and amenities for all ages including water slides and banana boat rides (at an extra cost).

Another popular resort in Mazatlán is the newly-renovated Riu Emerald Bay. This recently-modernized, top-rated family resort offers an expansive pool complex and sweeping Pacific Ocean views from the majority of its rooms.

In Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, vacationers can stay at top-rated family resort Azul Ixtapa Resort, home to its own mini water park and action-packed kids club.
