Jack Garland Airport officials say there are no concerns or delays to Sunwing's future flights to and from North Bay. 

The airline has been under scrutiny over the holidays as hundreds of passengers were affected by Sunwing flight disruptions, which began to pile up on Dec. 22 due to weather.

However, Bryan Avery, airport manager at the local airport north of the city, does admit one local flight was delayed out of Jack Garland during the holidays.  

Sources say a flight scheduled for Thursday, December 29 was delayed two days due to inclement weather. 

"A departing and arriving flight was delayed due to seasonally abnormal weather and network delays over the holidays however all flights did happen in the end," Avery told BayToday.  

"The snow, warmer temperatures, fog and reduced visibility throughout Ontario at times affected Sunwing Airline’s and other airline’s schedule throughout their networks.

"With regards to future flights there is however no change to Sunwing’s departure and arrival dates or times; departing and returning weekly on Thursdays."

Back in August, Sunwing announced it returning to Jack Garland Airport to provide weekly flights to Varadero, Cuba from mid-December through April, 2023.
