08 AUG 2019: Sunwing is launching seasonal flight service from Quebec City to Mazatlán. Flights will depart every Tuesday starting December 17, until April 14, 2020 inclusive. With the introduction of this new flight service, travellers from the provincial capital will have access to 11 tropical destinations from the tour operator this winter.

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Pacific’, Mazatlán is famous for its picturesque coastal landscapes and neoclassical architecture. Travellers can spend their days strolling down the cobblestone streets of Old Mazatlán or climbing the lighthouse for unrivalled Pacific Ocean views.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming tourists from Quebec City on the first-ever direct flight service to México’s only colonial city on the beach, a destination with a beautiful mixture of real Mexico culture and 20 kilometers of swimmable beaches”, said Julio Birrueta, director of the Mazatlán Tourism Board. “Guests will not only have the opportunity to enjoy great seafood, regional cuisine and a wide variety of activities and local tours, but they will also find authentic hospitality from the local mazatlecos”, he added.

Sam Char, executive vice president for Sunwing Travel Group in Quebec, said, “We are delighted to be offering this pristine Pacific Mexican destination to our customers in Quebec City this winter. Mazatlán offers an enticing blend of culture, heritage and natural beauty and we’re sure it will be a popular choice.”

President and CEO of Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport, Stéphane Poirier remarked, “This is great news for the people of Québec who will now have access to a new destination on the Mexican West coast. For the first time, vacationers will be able to fly to Mazatlán from Quebec, an ideal destination for those seeking sun getaways. We appreciate Sunwing’s trust in our market and their commitment to improving and expanding winter flight services at Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport”.
