As part of a move to grow its “hub” at Ottawa International Airport, Porter Airlines is bringing two flights to YOW that previously operated out of Toronto City Airport.
Starting May 1, travellers will be able to fly from YOW to Sudbury and to Windsor seven times a week, the airline announced Thursday. Also, as of May 13, there will be a flight from YOW to Kelowna, B.C. five times a week.
In addition to these new routes, Porter said it is increasing capacity for several existing seasonal domestic markets, including upping the frequency of the Ottawa-Winnipeg flight from seven times to 12 times weekly.
