One of the newest Canadian airlines, Swoop, has released its domestic winter schedule this week as well as welcoming its third aircraft.
The new aircrafts inaugural flight will be from Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG), departing 25th July 2018 at 7.10am Service between Edmonton, AB and Abbotsford, BC will be offered three-times daily.
Swoop started its flying operations on 30th June 2018 and seems to be bedding in well with the Canadian public with regularly full flights. "Swoop has been endorsed by Canadian travellers in the way that matters most, they are buying seats," said Michael Claeren, Senior Leader of Revenue and Pricing. "With strong sales going into the fall and full aircraft throughout the summer, we are proud to offer non-stop ultra-low-cost flight options from coast-to-coast."
The extended schedule continues to serve Swoop's five markets of Halifax, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Abbotsford.
