Swoop, Canadian airline WestJet’s ultra-low-cost subsidiary, will add five new U.S. destinations for the May-October 2022 summer season, the carrier announced Tuesday. Though designed to capture an anticipated increase in leisure travel, the destinations are key business travel markets.
The carrier will fly between Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Toronto five times weekly beginning May 30. Five-times weekly service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Toronto will start June 20. Four-times weekly service between San Francisco and Edmonton is to begin June 6. Flights between Hollywood Burbank Airport in Los Angeles County and Edmonton three times weekly are to start June 23. And Swoop will service Nashville from both Toronto (five times weekly as of May 26) and Edmonton (twice weekly starting June 19).
In addition, the airline is expanding its service to Las Vegas, and adding flights between there and Toronto four times weekly beginning May 20. It previously flew to Las Vegas only out of John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport in Ontario, as an alternative to Toronto Pearson Airport, twice weekly. That service will continue.
Further, Swoop is increasing service on some seasonal routes to year-round, including between San Diego and Edmonton, St. Petersburg-Clearwater and Hamilton, Palm Springs and Edmonton, and Sanford International Airport (near Orlando) and Toronto as well as Hamilton.
To cover the new routes, Swoop announced it will add six new Boeing Max-8 aircraft to its fleet this summer.
