Is this down to new and inexperienced crews, handling agents not used to holiday flights because of COVID or technical problems?
I know delays can happen to all airlines on any routes but the record so far in just three days of operation is poor and this is before the proper summer holiday flight rush at airports.

I don’t think it’s just a Sunwing thing. I haven’t done any form of detailed checking but I’ve seen countless delays since the summer season started on Sunday, some of which have been pretty significant (3/4+ hours).
