Sunwing Vacations has placed #67 on the prestigious list after showing a growth of 856 per cent since their inception in 2002.

“We are very excited to be on the Profit list once again,” said Stephen Hunter, COO of Sunwing Vacations. “We started Sunwing based on the belief that people deserved a high quality travel option, and our success over the last three years has confirmed that belief.”

The company’s immediate expansion plans include the launch of Sunwing Airlines, an all-inclusive leisure airline that will fly travellers on the company’s vacation packages. The airline will have its inaugural flight on November 17 on a new generation Boeing 737-800 aircraft, one of the most fuel-efficient, safest and comfortable aircraft in the skies today. Continuing the Sunwing mandate of high quality, the airline will set a new industry standard for customer service and safety.
