THE CFL TAKES TO THE SKIES WITH SWOOP
Newest official partner of the CFL, Swoop Airlines, offers special flight to the 108th Grey Cup
“The Grey Cup is more than a game,” said Kelly Steward, Senior Leader of Marketing, Digital and Communications at Swoop. “For all those who go, it’s a spectacle and a celebration. Swoop will provide the perfect bookends to that unforgettable event by bringing CFL fans to Hamilton on the very special flight WO 108, and flying them back home in the most convenient and affordable way possible.”
Tyler Mazereeuw, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer of the CFL, sees the partnership as another exciting opportunity to bring the Grey Cup fan experience to new soaring heights.
“Our fans are at the core of all we do at the CFL. Year-after-year, seeing the colours of every team at the Grey Cup and during Grey Cup Week, and meeting fans from every corner of the country, reminds us why this league is so special. Our partnership with Swoop will allow more fans to join us in Hamilton as we create another year of Grey Cup memories together.”
In addition to a host of onsite engagement activities at the CFL’s iconic championship, Swoop is presenting fans with the unique opportunity to begin planning their next vacation through the Choose your Off-Season Getaway contest.
