Sunwing has announced new seasonal nonstop weekly flights from Saskatoon to Mazatlán, Mexico for the winter 2017/2018 season.

The flight will depart Thursdays starting December 21, 2017 and operate until March 29, 2018. This new flight makes Sunwing Airlines the top Canadian provider of flights to Mazatlán, with flights from seven airports across Canada to the Pacific Mexico destination.

President of Tour Operations, Andrew Dawson, welcomed the news. "We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Saskatoon airport this winter.” said Andrew Dawson, president of tour operations at Sunwing. “Mazatlán has long been a favourite vacation destination for Canadians, so we're excited to continue helping our customers save time and money with this convenient flight service."

Nicknamed the 'Pearl of the Pacific', Mazatlán is located on Mexico's Gold Coast along the Pacific, at approximately the same latitude as the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and offers excellent sport fishing, water sports and cultural excursions.

With this new service, Saskatoon travellers will now have 12 sun destinations to choose from this winter, across Mexico and the Caribbean.

"We're proud to be partnering with Sunwing to bring Saskatchewan sun seekers more destination choice as demand for sunspot vacations continues to demonstrate sustained growth." said Stephen Maybury, Skyxe (pronounced Sky-ex-ee) Saskatoon Airport president and CEO.

Sunwing Vacations and Signature Vacations will each have a range of accommodation options to choose from, including El Cid Marina and Riu Emerald Bay.

All Sunwing packages from Saskatoon to Mazatlán include return flights on Sunwing Airlines.
