The low-cost airline will offer two flights a week from London to Orlando from Dec. 4 until April 2, 2023, and two flights a week from London to Cancun from Dec. 3 until April 29.

Swoop will continue three flights a week from London to Edmonton until Jan. 8, 2023. The flights began in June.

Prior to the pandemic, Swoop and London International Airport saw “strong growth through 2019 and the first quarter of 2020,” said Scott McFadzean, president and chief executive of London International Airport.

“It is amazing to have Swoop back offering these incredible destinations at low rates from your local, easy and comfortable airport,” he said.

Flair Airlines announced in June that it will begin offering one flight a week from London to Tucson, Ariz., in December.
