WestJet delays Sunwing Airlines integration to April 2025 due to pilot training and equipment issues.

WestJet has delayed the integration of Sunwing Airlines, which it acquired last year, from October 2023 to April 27, 2025, due to pilot training and cockpit measurement unit issues. The airlines will continue their regular operations during the winter flight schedules, with ongoing pilot shortages expected to take nearly a year until pilots can fly either airline's planes. Worker seniority for pilots remains a contentious point in the integration process.
