Sunwing is introducing a weekly flight service from Montreal to Antigua.

The service will begin May 4 and run until October 26.

“The inclusion of flights from Montreal to Antigua for the first time during the winter has been very well received, so we were keen to extend that service for the coming summer season,” said Executive Vice President of Sunwing Travel Group, Sam Char. “The introduction of this new route will offer Montreal residents even more options to travel this summer from their local airport.”

With the addition of the new summer flight service, Montrealers now have 11 different destinations in the vacation hotspots of Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

“The addition of these flights this summer demonstrates the impressive scope and variety of Montréal-Trudeau’s air service,” said Philippe Rainville, President and CEO of Aéroports de Montréal. “Sun destinations are very popular among Montrealers and are no longer only being sought after during the long winter months. Thanks to Sunwing, travelers will now be able to enjoy the sun, the ocean and all the wonderful things Antigua has to offer all year long.”
