From the article:
Swoop will join other low-cost carriers in the Canadian market, including Enerjet, Jetlines and Flair Air (formerly New Leaf).
The Calgary-based airline says Swoop, headquartered in Calgary, will operate a fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft and provide Canadians with a "no-frills, lower-fare travel option."
"As we looked around for the home for Swoop's operations, Calgary quickly rose to the top of the list," Cummings said in the release.
"The city offers Swoop the opportunity to save costs through shared services with WestJet's corporate head office, the availability of existing infrastructure, and talented, experienced WestJetters to draw from. We are confident that these qualities will support our ultra-low-cost operations and our guests well into the future."
