Swoop recently celebrated its inaugural flight between Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and Ottawa International Airport (YOW).
"Today's inaugural service to Ottawa marks the first of many new routes for Swoop this summer, and we're thrilled to be celebrating this non-stop connection between Edmonton, our Western Canada base, and Ottawa, our Nation's Capital," said Bert van der Stege, Head of Commercial and Finance.
"We're proud to be connecting more Canadian travellers to key destinations across the country with our ultra-affordable and convenient air travel options."
The inaugural service signals not only a continued commitment to service in Edmonton, but also brings new air travel options to residents of Ottawa. Later this summer, Swoop will add more non-stop service from Ottawa to Halifax, Nova Scotia and Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Ottawa-Halifax service will kick off June 19, with daily peak weekly frequency. Ottawa-Winnipeg flights will takeoff on the same date, with up to four flights weekly in peak season.
"At a time when the demand for air travel is reaching unprecedented heights, we know these new routes will play an important role in helping Canadians reconnect with friends and family this summer and assist in the recovery of the tourism economy" added van der Stege.
