Swoop Airlines to begin operations on 20th June

The new Canadian ultra low-cost carrier Swoop owned by WestJet will begin operations on 20 June with flights from Hamilton, which is southwest of Toronto, to both Abbotsford and Halifax.

Later that week it will begin Hamilton-Edmonton and Hamilton-Winnipeg flights.

The unit will initially operate two Boeing 737-800s equipped with 189 seats, but plans to grow its fleet to six 737-800s by the end of 2018, the regulatory filing says.
