Porter Airlines has launched three new routes between Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and Boston, New York-Newark and Thunder Bay
“This builds on our already extensive network in Eastern Canada and substantially increases the number of destinations served directly from Ottawa. Porter connects passengers coast-to-coast, with the level of service and generosity that economy travellers deserve," said Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines.
The new daily non-stop routes are being served by 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft.
“Porter Airlines continues to impress us with their commitment to Ottawa-Gatineau. No only was YOW Porter’s first turboprop destination back in 2006, in February we were also first to host Porter’s inaugural commercial jet service. As Porter’s YOW-based hangar construction is well underway, this new air service is yet another step forward as Porter airlines embraces the National Capital Region’s potential," said Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority.
