Passenger Traffic Through Hamilton Airport Expected to be Strong, Despite Loss of Swoop

With Swoop shutting down 28OCT, YHM airport CEO Kathy Puckering says the airport will see the elimination of some low-cost leisure fares, thus a loss of flyers who gravitated to the cheap offerings. However, the airline said in July it will “sustain the community’s key sun connections,” adding Cancun, Punta Cana, Orlando and Tampa Bay flights in November.

“What we know in Hamilton is there’s more demand for travel than there will be capacity in the short-term,” said Puckering. There are four other airlines that currently operate passenger service to and from Hamilton: Lynx, Play, Air Transat and Sunwing.
