CALGARY — Swoop’s new service between London International Airport (YXU) and Las Vegas, starts today, making it the sixth route to depart from the Southwestern Ontario city.

The inaugural flight from YXU will depart at 8:30 p.m. EDT. Twice-weekly service will operate on Thursdays and Sundays.

Swoop already flies year-round and seasonal routes out of London to Orlando, Cancun, Abbotsford, Edmonton and Halifax.

On adding Las Vegas to the network, Steven Greenway, President of Swoop, said: “The addition of the London-Las Vegas route provides the opportunity for more Canadians to travel throughout North America at a price that works for them. We are excited to continue to expand our network as Canada’s preferred ultra-low-fare airline. Our unbundled model helps keep fares low for all travellers because they get to customize their experience by choosing where they spend their money.”

Flights are now available for booking through to April 23, 2020, with one-way fares starting at $61.
