Swoop celebrated its inaugural flight to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) last week with a warm welcome reception to the Tampa Bay area.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our U.S. network with the launch of today’s inaugural flight to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport,” said Bert van der Stege, Head of Commercial and Finance, Swoop. “We know Canadians are eager to travel south to sunny Florida this winter and are pleased to be offering yet another convenient, affordable option to our travellers.”

As the airline continues to add capacity and increase service to the US, St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport’s accessibility to Florida’s Gulf Coast make it the perfect destination for Canadians to travel to all at swoop’s always available ultra-low fares.

“We are excited to welcome Canada based Swoop to our family of airlines”, said St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport Director, Tom Jewsbury.

“Canadians will have a convenient, non-stop option to fly to our award-winning destination from Toronto and Hamilton, Canada, and we are so excited to welcome our Canadian friends with borders open! We want to thank our partners at Visit St. Pete/Clearwater and Volaire Aviation for helping us make this possible.”
