The first Sunwing flight from Quebec City to Mazatlán, Mexico departed from Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport Tuesday. To celebrate the inaugural flight, Sunwing brought a taste of Mazatlán to the airport with authentic Mexican food, a tropical photo wall and special gifts for the first passengers to depart to the popular vacation destination from the city.

The occasion was marked with an official ribbon cutting ceremony presided over by Yanic Roy, vice president of Business Development for YQB, and Lyne Chayer, general manager of Sunwing Quebec.

The new weekly service is available until April 14, 2020.

Sunwing offers packages to this Pacific Mexico hotspot from 11 airports across the country, and travellers in Quebec City can now choose from 11 Sunwing destinations across the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and Florida.

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Pacific’, Mazatlán offers travellers the ideal escape with sandy beaches, historic architecture and a rich culture. Vacationers who take advantage of this new flight route can choose from a number of popular resorts across Mazatlán.

Riu Emerald Bay is a popular choice amongst families, featuring modern amenities, enhanced facilities and an on-site water park.
