The Caribbean’s most popular destination is getting more new flights.

Canadian travel giant Sunwing has announced plans to debut a new route from Quebec City to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic this summer.

The new weekly flight will run on Tuesdays between April 30 and Oct, 29, 2019, according to the company.

“We are excited to be returning to Quebec City’s Jean Lesage International Airport for the 12th summer in a row. As the first leisure carrier to offer summer flights from Quebec City in 2006, we are constantly striving to offer Quebecers even more ways to explore the sunny south and we believe the addition of Punta Cana to our extensive summer flight roster will be well-received.”

The new Punta Cana flights will complement returning routes including Cancun, Varadero, Cayo Coco and Puerto Plata.
