In celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) on Saturday, March 8, 2025, Sunwing Vacations’ primary airline partner, Sunwing Airlines, soared through the skies with two special flights, each operated entirely by an all-female flight deck and cabin crew.

- Toronto to Montego Bay:
- Captain: Janice MacSween
- First Officer: Lexi Tibbetts
- Cabin Safety Manager: Stephanie Bourgeois
- Flight Attendants: Sabrina Baribeau, Stephanie Tatiana Kraner, Darya Soufian Abdollahi
- Montreal to Cancun:

This annual initiative stands as a powerful testament to women’s achievements in aviation and reaffirms Sunwing Airlines’ commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). By amplifying the 2025 IWD theme of #AccelerateAction, the airline continues to foster an inclusive and equitable environment within the travel sector.
Sunwing Airlines First Officer Jessalyn Teed, who played a key role in organizing these flights, reflected on the significance of this initiative, underscoring the progress made in gender equity and the opportunities for further advancements in aviation.
“This year, we’re celebrating both International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month at Sunwing Airlines. The overarching themes of #AccelerateAction and “Moving Forward Together – Women Educating and Inspiring Generations” highlight the incredible contributions of women dedicated to leadership, education and mentorship – principles that are at the heart of our values here at Sunwing Airlines – as well as the work to be done to continue this progress; from operations to the ramp, aircraft cabins and flight decks, the women of Sunwing Airlines exemplify this each day. It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside these women, learn from them, and honour them and the role they play on a daily basis. We celebrate the incredible women who soar above and beyond with professionalism and passion, as their strength, dedication and leadership inspire us all to reach new heights. Happy International Women’s Day!”
