Canadian Airline Set to Resume Winter Service After International Travel Restrictions

Canadian airline Swoop announced this week plans to restart winter service next week at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport after international travel restrictions were recently lifted.

Beginning November 1st, Swoop will offer nonstop flights from Winnipeg, Manitoba; Toronto, Ontario; and Edmonton, Alberta from the East Valley airport.

The twice-weekly flights are available through the end of April and will vary on day based on the destination.


The carrier’s base fares cover just the seat. Add-on charges are available for assigned seating, extended legroom, in-flight snacks and checked or carry-on baggage.

Swoop offers five U.S. destinations, including San Diego, California, and Las Vegas and Nevada.

The Canadian government recently removed international travel restrictions for last week, making the seasonal flights available for the first time since before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
