Swoop has announced it will become Canada’s first ultra low cost airline to fly to the United States when it launches service this fall to five popular tourist destinations in Florida, Arizona and Nevada.
The new flights will include departures from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport to Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Las Vegas.

Service will be added over the next several weeks with flights available for booking from October 11, 2018 to April 27, 2019.
“Swoop’s success in the Canadian ULCC space combined with the evident success of ULCCs in the U.S. affirms that North American travelers are ready for an airline to open up the border to ultra-low-cost air travel,” said President of Swoop Steven Greenway in a news release. “There has been a lot of interest in our plans for the remaining three aircraft we receive this year and revealing this schedule today is a proud moment for the whole Swoop team.”
The airline will have six aircraft in operation by the end of 2018, with four more expected in 2019.
