TOTA president and CEO Glenn Mandziuk, YLW director Sam Samaddar, Swoop senior vice-president of communications Karen McIsaac and Kelowna city councillor Ryan Donn cut the ribbon on Swoop in Kelowna.
Swoop is ready to start flying in and out of Kelowna.
The ultra-low-cost carrier held its grand opening today at Kelowna International Airport prior to it welcoming its first flight into YLW, which is coming from Winnipeg. Swoop will fly between the Okanagan and the Manitoba capital three times a week this summer.
The carrier, whose parent company is WestJet, will also begin flying non-stop to Las Vegas on June 27.
“Having Swoop in Kelowna is a great opportunity for the Okanagan, as it gives travellers more options to fly, and explore other parts of Canada this summer,” YLW director Sam Samaddar said.
Okanagan Edge is attending Swoop’s grand opening at YLW and will have a complete report later in the day.
