Sunwing, WestJet indefinitely suspend flights to popular destination for Canadians 08.06.2026

Sunwing Vacations Group, encompassing Sunwing Vacations, WestJet Vacations, and WestJet Vacations Quebec, has indefinitely suspended all flight and vacation package operations to Cuba. This decision, effective immediately, aligns operations across the entire group, including WestJet Airlines and WestJet Cargo. The company acknowledges the disappointment this may cause Canadians who frequently visit Cuba and recognizes the impact on local communities and industry partners. Customers with existing bookings will be contacted with options for rebooking to alternative destinations or receiving a refund. This latest suspension follows previous pauses in operations earlier this year and comes amid Cuba's ongoing energy and fuel crisis, which has led to shortages of essential resources and a suspension of Visa and Mastercard services for tourists. The Canadian government continues to advise against non-essential travel to the island nation.
