Canadian ultra-low-cost airline, Swoop, inaugurated its first flights in Saskatoon with the start of non-stop service to Edmonton and Winnipeg today.
Swoop flight WO584 from Edmonton landed at Saskatoon International Airport at 9:00 a.m. local time, inaugurating the airline’s presence in the province.
“As Canada’s ultra-not-expensive airline, we are excited to be here in Saskatoon to continue our summer network expansion in Western Canada,” said Bob Cummings, President of Swoop.
