WATCH: Calgary Advisor Lesley Keyter Talks New Operator Iberojet & Vaccines on Global News

Keyter also spoke about Barcelo Group’s new Iberojet airline that will fly from Canada and the U.S. to Punta Cana, D.R. “They got to the stage where they thought, ‘We’re not going to be dependent on different countries being able to provide the flights coming in’. Cruise lines charted their own flights to get down to Florida and it was extremely successful, so it’s not surprising to see this move.”
