The Canadian low cost airline Swoop is restarting service to Winnipeg.

  1. Today, Swoop marked its return to Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG).
  2. The airline’s reintroduction of its ultra-low fares now connectsย Winnipegย withย Hamilton’sย John C. Munro International Airport (YHM) andย Abbotsfordย International Airport (YXX), with operations toย Kelownaย International Airport (YLW) set to begin in June.
  3. Today’s announcement marks another milestone for Swoop as the airline continues its recovery efforts in conjunction with partners likeย Winnipeg’sย James Armstrong Richardson International Airport to bring affordable and accessible air travel to all Canadians. The airline remains optimistic that asย Canadaย continues its vaccine rollout, a safe restart of domestic air travel is on the horizon.

“We are thrilled to reaffirm our commitment toย Manitobaย through our return toย Winnipeg,” saidย Shane Workman, Head of Flight Operations, Swoop. “Our affordable fares are now available to those travelling for essential reasons and Swoop will be here to support the economic recovery of the region and connect Manitobans to their family and friends when the time comes.”ย 

“We are pleased to welcome Swoop back to Winnipeg as we continue to plan for the safe return of domestic travel as vaccination levels increase across the country,” said Barry Rempel, President and CEO of Winnipeg Airports Authority. “Swoop’s return is an important milestone in our plan to rebuild the region’s connectivity and provides a low-cost option for essential travel today while helping to drive Manitoba’s economic and social recovery when the time is right for further travel.”
