Jamaica picked as first Caribbean destination for Swoop
After recently announcing its first international routes to the US, Canadian ultra-low cost startup Swoop is heading further south to the sunshine.
It has picked Jamaica’s Montego Bay as its first Caribbean destination.
The seasonal service begins December 16, 2018 through April 24, 2019, connecting Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport with Hamilton.
"The addition of Montego Bay to our network is another important milestone," said Steven Greenway, President of Swoop.
"Many Canadians of Jamaican origin live in the Toronto area, which makes this new route ideal for connecting friends, family and loved ones, as does the vacation appeal of replacing ten feet of snow with ten miles of white sand beaches this winter."
We are proud to partner with Swoop and look forward to bringing our customers more services and destination offerings."
Rafael Echevarne, CEO of MBJ Airports Limited said: "We congratulate Swoop in the commencement of this service to Montego Bay which will provide passengers in Hamilton and the surrounding area a great additional option to visit Montego Bay and Jamaica."
Swoop recently announced upcoming service to five US destinations including Las Vegas, which begin in the fall.
