On Saturday, Swoop, Canada’s leading ultra-low-cost airline, celebrated its first flight since 2020 to Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Swoop is cementing its position as the leading sun-flying ULCC, providing year-round service to Canadians’ favorite destinations across the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. According to Swoop Airlines, it is on a mission to make travel more affordable and accessible for all Canadians. Established in 2018 as an independent subsidiary of the WestJet Group of Companies, Swoop is Canada’s ultra-not-expensive airline. Offering scheduled service to destinations in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean, Swoop’s unbundled fares put travelers in control of purchasing only the products and services they desire.
“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 Bob Cummings, president of Swoop. “We know residents of southern Ontario value affordable connectivity to Florida so we’re proud to be unlocking year-round service to Orlando.”

In addition to the service to Orlando, Swoop will also be offering non-stop flights from southern Ontario to Las Vegas, Cancun, Kingston and Montego Bay in Jamaica, Punta Cana and Varadero.
