A new Canadian airline is expanding its service with a nonstop connection to San Diego International.

According to NBC7, Swoop is just three years old and focused heavily on domestic Canadian trips before branching out to international flights.

“San Diego has been on our future route map for quite a while. We believe in the city; we think Canadians will embrace the city of San Diego and as a new Canadian ULLC we are very keen on expanding our network,” said Swoop Airlines Head of Finance Bert Van Der Stege.

The U.S. is also officially reopening for international travel and easing restrictions on November 8, 2021.

“We’ve immediately seen a rapid rise in demand, and we are keen on helping promote San Diego becoming an even more attractive tourist destination,” said Van Der Stege.

Van Der Stege continued saying that the airline does not anticipate there being any administrative issues because of employees refusing to get vaccinated causing a slowdown in operations.

“It is a mandatory requirement in Canada, so every passenger and all of our staff have to be fully vaccinated. I’m very pleased to report that over 98% of all our staff declared voluntarily that they are fully vaccinated,” Van Der Stege said.
