OTTAWA — Canada and Cuba have reached a deal to allow more airlines to
operate flights between the two countries.

Transport Minister John Baird announced Sunday that two additional
Canadian airlines, WestJet (TSX:WJA) and Sunwing, will be allowed to
offer flights to Cuba.

Baird also announced that WestJet is being allowed to run a service
between Canada and Trinidad and Tobago.

The government says since 2006, it has negotiated open, new or expanded
air service agreements with nearly 50 countries.
