CALGARY, AB – June 1, 2019/CNW/ - Today Swoop inaugurates its new route between Edmonton, AB and Orlando, FL. The route is part of Swoop's 2019 summer schedule, which runs until October 26, 2019.
The non-stop inaugural flight departs Edmonton International Airport (YEG) at 8:00 a.m. and arrives at Orlando International Airport (MCO) at 2:55 p.m., local time. Travellers will be treated to refreshments, gifts and more before departing to sunny Orlando.
“This new route is an excellent opportunity to visit Florida affordably in the off-season and is the perfect lead-up to Swoop’s upcoming winter schedule,” said Karen McIsaac, Sr. Advisor of Communications at Swoop. “An overwhelming majority, over 90%, of the Swoop travellers we’ve surveyed like our unbundled model and have already recommended us to a friend.” †
†Based on a 2019 Swoop survey of 23,830 participants.
“Swoop’s growing list of Canadian and U.S. routes from Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is reflective of the demand from our region,” said Tom Ruth, President and CEO of Edmonton International Airport. “Orlando has continually been one of the most sought-after leisure destinations for residents of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region.”
Swoop’s final summer route launches on June 27, 2019 between Kelowna and Las Vegas. The winter schedule is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
Flights are now available for booking through to October 26, 2019.
