WestJet’s “ultra-low-cost” airline Swoop officially takes flight on June 20, 2018, the airline announced Thursday.

The discount airline will initially offer six weekly flights between Abbotsford and Hamilton and six weekly flights between Hamilton and Halifax. Beginning June 25, Swoop will expand service with the addition of six weekly flights between Hamilton and Edmonton and between Hamilton and Winnipeg.

Swoop created quite a buzz Thursday when it offered $7.50 one-way flights between Abbotsford, B.C. to Hamilton and Abbotsford to Edmonton. Those ultra-cheap flights sold out quickly.
