HAMILTON, ON, Sept. 7, 2022 /CNW/ - Today, Swoop, Canada's leading ultra-low-cost airline, expanded its winter sun-flying offering from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) with new non-stop service to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Punta Cana (PUJ).

Hamilton-based Regional Sales Lead, Meghan Miller, says: "As summer comes to an end, residents of southern Ontario are turning their attention towards winter travel planning with their sights set on a sunny getaway. We know that Hamiltonians value the convenience of their local airport, and so we're thrilled to offer more choice of ultra-convenient and ultra-affordable flights to popular sun destinations for winter vacations."

Swoop has increased frequencies on existing sun-flying routes from Hamilton, with more weekly flights to Cancun, Las Vegas, Orlando, and St. Pete-Clearwater.

"Hamilton is thrilled to have Swoop expand flight destinations and service from our city, which offers people from the entire region greater convenience and supports jobs, growth, and tourism in our community as well. We're excited to see Swoop continue to grow out of Hamilton's airport for years to come." - Mayor Fred Eisenberger
