Porter Airlines is launching four new Canadian and US non-stop routes between Ottawa and Boston, New York-Newark, Quebec City, and Thunder Bay.
The flights will commence on 27 March 2023 and go from Ottawa International Airport. Porter will be the only airline to provide daily year-round direct flights to Boston, Quebec City and Thunder Bay. The airline currently flies to Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton and Toronto City.
The routes will be served by a 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. At present, the airline has 29 of the type in its fleet.
Ottawa was the first destination when Porter launched its operations in 2006 and serves as a critical location for the airline. Michael Deluce, President and CEO of Porter Airlines, commented that they “expect [Porter Airlines’] presence in Ottawa will continue growing”.
Mark Laroche, President and CEO of Ottawa International Airport Authority, said that “we are thrilled to be a part of Porter’s exciting growth plans and welcome these additions to YOW’s offering.”
