Sunwing designated to operate services to the Dominican Republic - September 26, 2006

News Release

No. H116/06For release
September 26, 2006
OTTAWA The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport,
Infrastructure and Communities, today announced the designation of Sunwing
Airlines to operate scheduled air services between Canada and the Dominican
Republic.
"Canada's New Government is committed to enhancing air transportation services
for travellers," said Minister Cannon. "Sunwing's new designation helps to
ensure a greater choice of flights and destinations in the Dominican Republic."
Sunwing Airlines plans to convert its existing charter services to scheduled air
services and will likely expand its current service level to the Dominican
Republic.
Under the provisions of Canada's international air transportation policy, all
Canadian air carriers may apply to the Minister for designation to operate
scheduled international air services. This designation has been made possible
through an existing air transport agreement between the Government of Canada and
the Government of the Dominican Republic. The agreement permits each country to
designate any number of its airlines for the operation of scheduled air
services. In addition, there are no constraints in the agreement that limit the
frequency of services.
