Sunwing Airlines adds another new aircraft
Sunwing Airlines is pleased to announce that, per its expansion plans, it has added another new Boeing 737-800 to its fleet.
The new aircraft arrived from the Boeing factory in Seattle on April 7 at which time it commenced service to Sunwing’s sun destinations and, soon thereafter, across Canada on its domestic summer schedule.
Like all of Sunwing’s other aircraft, it will feature 189 seats including 24 seats with extra-legroom. These extra-legroom seats are part of the airline’s new Elite Plus service level whereby passengers also enjoy 30 kg baggage allowance, pre-boarding and advance seat selection. The aircraft also features two meter high “winglets” at the tip of each wing, which deliver 4 per cent fuel reduction, giving Sunwing the newest and most fuel efficient fleet of any carrier in Canada.
“It’s always a proud day for us when we take delivery of a new aircraft,” says Sunwing Airlines president Mark Williams, “And our passengers tell us they love flying on our new planes.” This is the third aircraft the airline has taken delivery of in the last five months, giving Sunwing the youngest fleet in Canada with an average age of 2.3 years.
