WestJet's ultra-low-cost subsidiary Swoop celebrated its first flight since 2020 to Orlando International Airport (MCO). The airline has restarted non-stop, year-round service from Hamilton to the popular Florida destination.

"As Canada's number one sun-flying ultra-low-cost airline, we are thrilled to offer our Hamiltonian's year-round flights to Orlando International Airport," said Swoop president Bob Cummings. "We know residents of southern Ontario value affordable connectivity to Florida, so we're proud to be unlocking year-round service to Orlando."

Swoop recently published a new summer schedule, extending service to key leisure markets, with connectivity year-round. In addition to the service to Orlando, Swoop will also offer non-stop flights from southern Ontario to Las Vegas, Cancun, Kingston and Montego Bay in Jamaica, Punta Cana and Varadero.

As well, Canadians can unlock discounts at all-inclusive resorts when they book their flight as part of a Swoop Getaway. Hundreds of all-inclusive packages to warm and sunny destinations are now available through WestJetVacations.com.

"Orlando International warmly welcomes the return of Swoop passengers and is glad Swoop is resuming its service," said Vicki Jaramillo, Chief Development Officer for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which operates Orlando International Airport.

"Resuming this service improves connectivity between Orlando and Hamilton just in time for summer travel."
