Swoop, the low-cost Canadian carrier from the team behind WestJet, is continuing to add routes ahead of an expected busy summer travel season.
On Sunday, the carrier launched its inaugural service to Charlottetown Airport from Hamilton International Airport, the first of a number of routes coming from Swoop this summer. The service, which landed in Charlottetown at 11 am on Sunday, is the first of 11 inaugural Swoop will celebrate this summer.
Shortly after that flight landed, Swoop celebrate another inaugural flight, this one from Edmonton to Halifax, another addition that was then followed by new Charlottetown service from Toronto Pearson on Monday.
The rest of the service on the way includes flights to Moncton, Saint John (NB), Deer Lake, and St. John’s (NL).
“作为加拿大领先的超低票价航空公司,我们很高兴今天通过这次飞往夏洛特敦的首届飞行来启动我们的加拿大大西洋扩张,” Swoop商业与金融负责人伯特·范·德·斯坦说。
“这是今年夏天,当我们在东海岸扩大我们的超低票价产品时,这是11个就职典礼上的第一个。”
除了这些新路线外,Swoop还将在今年夏天扩大其美国服务。Swoop将为五个新的美国城市增加了五条新的不间断路线 - 新约克,芝加哥,纳什维尔,旧金山和洛杉矶。
这五个加入了已经建立的Swoop服务,到圣地亚哥,棕榈泉,拉斯维加斯,圣皮特 - 克莱尔沃特,奥兰多·桑福德和凤凰城,所有这些都将延长到夏季,为Swoop提供了11个美国目的地,这使得这是11个美国目的地beplay银行卡夏天。
Swoop will fly that service out of its three main hubs—Toronto, Hamilton, and Edmonton.
Swoop expects this summer's demand for transborder travel to continue to increase as more than 30 million Canadians are fully vaccinated and the current government travel measures expire on March 1, something that van der Stege said continues “to severely impact the recovery of the travel and tourism sectors.”
