Swoop has added another destination in British Columbia, with the launch of flights to Comox Valley Airport (YQQ) from Edmonton International Airport (YEG).

Swoop flight WO 217 landed in Comox at 7:55 a.m. local time yesterday, the first of a new program of 4X-weekly flights.

"As Canada's leading ultra-low fare airline, we are thrilled to continue our network expansion in beautiful British Columbia, promoting tourism and stimulating economic growth in Comox," said Ryan Hubbard, Swoop's Senior Manager, Airports .

"Demand for summer travel across Canada is soaring and we're proud to support communities, both large and small, with ultra-affordable fares."

In British Columbia, Swoop also offers service to Victoria, Abbotsford, and Kelowna.

"The ability for the residents of the Comox Valley to explore the world and for visitors from around the world to explore the Comox Valley continues to grow," said Mayor Russ Arnot.

"The arrival of Swoop further demonstrates the highly desirable destination that the Comox Valley is. As we exit the global COVID-19 pandemic the ability to connect in person with families and friends will add great joy to our residents."
