WestJet ULCC Swoop adds fourth Boeing 737 for seasonal flights
WestJet ULCC subsidiary Swoop has placed its fourth Boeing 737-800 into service and is using it to support previously announced seasonal flights between Abbotsford International and Winnipeg Richardson International airports. The carrier plans to run the new flights daily from Aug 16 through the Canadian Labour Day holiday weekend that ends Sept 3, and then 5 days per week through the summer-schedule’s Oct 27 conclusion. The flights double Swoop’s weekly frequencies out of Winnipeg. Swoop, which recently announced its first transborder routes, plans to be operating 6 aircraft by year-end at least 10 by fall 2019. But WestJet CE Ed Sims has said that growing the ULCC faster is a possibility, as it gives the company greater flexibility to combat increasing low-cost competition in Canada. <br/>
