WestJet will wind down Sunwing Airlines and integrate the low-cost carrier into its mainline business within two years as part of a strategy to streamline operations amid fierce competition.

The move, announced in an internal memo obtained by The Canadian Press, has raised questions among some industry observers about the impact on airfares and travellers' flight options.

The decision comes the week after WestJet opted to fold budget subsidiary Swoop's operations under its flagship banner. Various vacation spots in Mexico, the United States and the Caribbean will probably see fewer flights, he said. Sunwing Vacations will continue as a separate brand, spokeswoman Julia Kaiser said in an email, setting the stage for WestJet planes to fly Sunwing tour package customers to their getaways.WestJet announced on June 9 it would merge Swoop with its main business by late October as the country's second-biggest airline recalibrates amid a fiercely competitive market.

The most recent announcement raises questions about Sunwing pilots' seniority, as well as management's job security.
