Porter Airlines is doubling the number of routes it offers from Ottawa International Airport, with four new Canadian and U.S. destinations.

Starting March 27, 2023 passengers will be able to fly on daily non-stop flights between Ottawa and Boston, New York-Newark, Quebec City and Thunder Bay. Porter currently flies to Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton and Toronto City from Canada's capital city.

Porter will be the only airline providing year-round daily direct flights to Boston, Quebec City and Thunder Bay from Ottawa.

"Ottawa was our first destination when we launched in 2006, and it has always been a critical location for Porter throughout our history," said Michael Deluce, Porter president and CEO. "The network expansion in Ottawa shows our commitment to the Ottawa-Gatineau region and its people. We expect our presence in Ottawa will continue growing."

The new daily non-stop routes will be served by 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. Passengers will experience Porter's onboard service, including premium snacks, and free beer and wine in glassware for all passengers, when flights start next spring.
