在四岁的时候,Swoop的低成本扩张就可以蒸蒸日上
经过丹尼尔·麦卡锡(Daniel McCarthy)/
这是Swoop的生活,这是Westjet拥有的超低成本载体,总部位于卡尔加里(Calgary)。
自Swoop推出以来,周一是一家针对加拿大民主化的航空旅行的航空公司四年。该航空公司在加拿大的一些主要国内路线上推出,然后在国际上扩张。据本周与TMR交谈的商业和金融公司负责人伯特·范·德·史蒂奇(Bert Van der Stege)表示,现在已经四年了,它仍在“增长非常非常快”。
van der Stege told TMR that Swoop expects to expand its fleet by 60% this year, which lends itself to a rapidly growing route map. This year’s increase includes new flights across Canada, along with 11 total additions this summer to the U.S., including new flights to Nashville, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, destinations that appeal to a population of Canadian travelers who are increasingly looking for low-cost travel options.
“We saw the pent-up demand coming out of the pandemic and saw that there was a need for Canadians to explore not only new destinations domestically but also into the U.S.,” van der Stege said. “Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles—we’re adding popular leisure destinations as well as destinations we know where there is a connection, patricianly leisure driven, and tremendous pent-up demand.”
The growth, he added, fills a gap that Canadian carriers are not yet serving—Swoop is occupying a market that includes airlines like Air Canada Rouge, Porter Airlines, and Canadian Jetlines, but not U.S. carriers like Southwest or Frontier, who haven’t broken into the Canadian market. That means that Swoop can continue to serve consumers from its home country, along with American consumers who want to explore Canada at a low cost.
Van der Stege告诉TMR,Swoop以保持简单而自豪 - 所有路线都是直接的“简单进口和简单的飞行”航班,从而最大程度地减少了延迟或取消的风险。
他说:“我们不会在网络中的任何地方连接。”“我们有简单的进出点对点航班。”
扩展是在旅行需求(尽管价格上涨)仍然很高的时候,而剩下的共同限制(例如美国的入站测试要求)终于结束了。Van der Stege补充说,这是休闲方面扩张的绝佳时机,尽管在北美的精选机场仍在继续
“我们不满意服务提供的水平ed by some government agencies and airports right now,” he said, adding that solutions, including more staff being added, “will alleviate” some of those issues.
至于接下来的四年,Swoop计划继续其使航空旅行民主化的使命,但是长期的未来仍然很难预测。
“The one thing we learned over the past four years, in particular, is that it is really difficult to predict what is going to happen – the past few years obviously have been really difficult,” he said.
“接下来的四年将非常以成长为中心。我们认为,这种模型在加拿大工作,我们相信我们的位置非常好,我们将继续在新目的地的基础上进行广泛的投资。beplay银行卡我们期待继续发展航空公司,创造就业机会并在北美和国际上增加目的地。beplay银行卡“
As for the travel advisor community, Swoop started specifically with its own website that employed direct bookings. Now, four years down the road, it has added a travel agent support desk that van der Stege said is ready and eager to help build its community of travel advisors.
他说:“我们欢迎他们的业务,我们期待与代理商合作。”
