To safeguard the health and wellbeing of travellers and crew, Swoop has implemented a robust set of measures, including stricter boarding processes allowing for shorter queue wait times, traveller screening measures, increased sanitization and enforcing face masks for the duration of flights.
“It is time to travel again and that can be done responsibly and safely,” adds Duncan. “We are focusing our efforts on encouraging travel with our ability to provide ultra-low fares to price-sensitive travellers.”
Traveller demand, travel advisories and health and safety conditions will be monitored over the coming weeks and months, which may cause adjustments to the winter schedule. For added flexibility, Swoop is offering the option to purchase ModiFly, which grants passengers with a one-time date and time change to their booking.
