The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that WestJet says it aims to wind down Sunwing Airlines and integrate the low-cost carrier into its mainline business by October of next year. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that WestJet, which bought the Toronto company's main airline and vacation divisions in May in a move representing a major consolidation of the aviation market, says Sunwing's 18 Boeing 737s and 2,000 employees will be folded into the Calgary-based carrier in a seamless transition. WestJet and Sunwing together make up 37 per cent of seat capacity on direct flights to sun destinations, and 72 per cent from Western Canada, according to a report from the Competition Bureau last fall. The Globe item notes that experts have warned that the move could mean less service and higher fares. As a condition of Ottawa's sign-off on the Sunwing acquisition, both parties pledged to maintain capacity on the most affected routes and keep the Sunwing Vacations head office in Toronto and a regional one in Montreal for at least five years.
