Sunwing Vacations has decided to prolong and expand its halt of operations in Cuba due to the ongoing shortage of oil supply to the popular tourist destination. The suspension of all operations by the Sunwing Vacations Group, encompassing Sunwing Vacations, WestJet Vacations, and Vacances WestJet Quebec in Cuba, has been extended from June 20 to Oct. 9. Initially scheduled flights to Varadero and Cayo Coco for the summer season have also been postponed until Oct. 10, according to a statement from Sunwing to CBC News. Services to Holguin, Santa Clara, Cayo Largo, and Cienfuegos are set to resume on Oct. 25. Sunwing Vacations Group, a division of WestJet Group, emphasized that affected customers will be offered alternative options, including trips to destinations like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Punta Cana, and Montego Bay. Canada’s major airlines had initially halted flights to Cuba in February when the country’s airports reported fuel shortages. The presidential actions of U.S. President Donald Trump against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January have disrupted Cuba’s oil supply chain, leading to the current oil crisis in the country, affecting the daily lives of locals with blackouts and rising prices for essential goods.
