WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Dec. 10, 2019 - Today, Swoop, Canada's ultra-low-fare airline and subsidiary of WestJet Airlines Ltd., launches its inaugural flight from Winnipeg Richardson International Airport (YWG) to Puerto Vallarta's Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) departing at 8:45 a.m. CST.
Direct flights from Winnipeg to the beaches of Puerto Vallarta are providing more Canadians the opportunity to head south of the border this winter. Swoop prides itself on its low price-point because of its unbundled model, with a base fare that includes only a seat, giving travellers the power to add the things they want, and nothing they don't.
"Our partnership with Swoop continues to grow, providing our community more direct, low-cost travel options to visit and experience sought-after destinations across North America," said Barry Rempel, President and CEO of Winnipeg Airports Authority. "These additional routes are helping further strengthen Winnipeg's connection to the world by opening the door for Winnipeg Richardson International Airport to welcome more travellers to Winnipeg. Swoop continues to be a valuable partner who recognizes Winnipeg's potential."
"We welcome Swoop's new flight from Winnipeg as this will provide direct access to Puerto Vallarta's diverse offering this winter," said Javier Aranda, Director of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board. "Puerto Vallarta will be the land of celebrations in the upcoming months as we start the holiday season with the Virgen of Guadalupe pilgrimages, Christmas, Hanukah, New Years and many other cultural events. We invite all our visitors to join in the celebrations and experience Puerto Vallarta."
Swoop currently serves 17 domestic, transborder and international destinations, with its summer 2020 schedule set to add even more options for Canadian travellers beginning April 2020.
Winnipeg flights to Puerto Vallarta are now available for booking through until April 21, 2020. Details of Swoop's new service out of Winnipeg include:
