Western Canada will benefit from increased connectivity between Ottawa (YOW) and Edmonton (YEG) as Porter Airlines expands its network with daily non-stop flights beginning October 4.
The airline will operate one daily roundtrip flight operated on the 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. Introductory roundtrip fares start at $184. The Edmonton-Ottawa route offers a variety of connections to Eastern Canada via Ottawa. Porter also operates multiple non-stop daily flights between Edmonton and Toronto-Pearson.
“The addition of this route provides a higher level of connectivity across our network between Eastern and Western Canada,” said Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer. “We welcome the opportunity to provide even more travellers across the country with an elevated economy experience that they won’t find with any other airline.”
Service between YOW and YEG includes complimentary beer and wine, premium snacks, and free, fast WiFi for all passengers. Options for extra legroom, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are also available on an all-inclusive basis with PorterReserve fares or purchased individually with PorterClassic fares.
Porter Airlines recently officially launched its Toronto (YYZ) Vancouver (YVR) route in mid-July.
This route complements Porter’s existing presence from Ottawa to Western Canada, including nonstop service from Ottawa and Vancouver and additional connecting options via Toronto-Pearson to Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg.
