It was officially announced on September 27, 2017,[1] and began flights on June 20, 2018.[2] The airline is based in Calgary, Alberta[1] and was named after WestJet's desire to "swoop" (or jump) into the Canadian market with a new business model.[1] Shortly after launch, WestJet announced that Swoop may not be based solely in Calgary, but also in another nearby market like Edmonton, Abbotsford or Winnipeg, though the airline is likely to stay based in Alberta to take advantage of the lower tax rate and larger market population.[3] On February 1, 2018[2], Swoop officially began selling tickets to the public, announcing John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport as their main hub.[4] HistoryIn April 2017, WestJet announced that it was planning to launch a new airline to enter the growing ultra low-cost carrier (ULCC) market and compete against NewLeaf (now Flair Airlines). The airline was planned to launch in late 2017[5], but in August 2017 it was delayed to June 2018 after switching to a lower-cost booking system. The delay also allowed WestJet to reconfigure aircraft for Swoop over the Spring 2018 season. [6] Swoop was officially announced on September 27, 2017, and was expected to have base fares 40% lower than WestJet's fares. It was announced that Swoop would launch with six Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Tickets first became available for sale on February 1, 2018.[1] On June 20, 2018 Swoop officially launched with two Boeing 737-800 aircraft in its fleet. The first flight was from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport to Abbotsford International Airport, with passengers paying an average of $103 for the flight. Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, Edmonton International Airport, and Halifax Stanfield International Airport were also launch destinations. The fleet of 2 aircraft was planned to be expanded to 6 by the end of 2018 and to 10 in 2019.[7] On August 2, 2018, Swoop announced that it was to become the first Canadian ultra low-cost airline to fly to the United States, launching service to Las Vegas, Phoenix (Mesa), Tampa, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale throughout the month of October 2018.[8] However, prior to launching service in October, Swoop announced service to four more Mexican and Caribbean destinations launching in December 2018 and January 2019.[9] On October 20, 2018, Swoop delayed launch of American flights until October 27, 2018 due to a lack of U.S. approval.[10]Starting April and May 2019, Swoop will begin launching service to London, ON, Kelowna, and Oakland.[11] FleetCurrent fleetSwoop operates a fleet composed entirely of Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft, specifically the Boeing 737-800. Swoop plans to operate a fleet of six aircraft in 2018, scaling up to 10 aircraft by spring 2019.[12][13]
