Swoop flights out of Hamilton cancelled, delayed due to bad weather

With a wind warning and heavy rain expected, Swoop Airlines has cancelled and delayed some flights coming in and out of the Hamilton International Airport.

On Thursday morning, the low-cost carrier said in a statement that “an intense weather system” caused “cloud cover below safe operating limits in Hamilton.” Four flights were diverted or cancelled and three others were delayed.

The cancelled flights out of John C. Munro include:

• WO 101 – Hamilton (YHM) to Edmonton (YEG)
