Canadian travel giant Sunwing is adding a pair of new routes to St Maarten, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

On Sept. 30, the carrier will launch new flights between Toronto and St Maarten. 

That will be followed on Nov. 4 by the launch of flights between Montreal and St Maarten. 

Both of the new routes will operate once weekly on Thursdays. 

Andrew Dawson, president of tour operations at Sunwing, said the increase came following “positive customer demand” for initial service launches to destinations like Cancun and Punta Cana this summer. 

“Based on increasing demand to travel in the early fall, we decided to expand our flight service and destination offerings ahead of schedule,” Dawson said. “Our customers are looking for even more choice and flexibility. We’re excited to help them plan their dream getaway with ease under our wing, and we look forward to announcing additional flight routes in the near future.”
