After enjoying high demand on its new Ottawa-Charlottetown route, Porter Airlines is adding flight frequency, with up to twice-daily service in peak season.
Service begins on May 17, as announced earlier this year. The increased schedule moves the initial seven weekly round trip flights to 11 times weekly during the spring and fall. This further improves to 14 flights per week during the peak summer travel season.
"There's been a great response from the community and increasing frequency will allow passengers to connect to more destinations across our network," said Kevin Jackson, EVP and chief commercial officer.
"YYG Charlottetown Airport is thrilled to see Porter providing an additional frequency to their recently announced Ottawa service. This second flight will provide more choice and convenience for our passengers as Porter expands their Ottawa schedule in the coming months," said Doug Newson, CEO, Charlottetown Airport Authority.
The non-stop flights between Ottawa and Charlottetown are to be served by 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft.
With the introduction of the new Ottawa-Charlottetown route, Porter will operate nine non-stop routes from Ottawa International Airport this summer.
