Porter Airlines continues to expand into Western Canada from Ottawa with the announcement today of daily service between Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and Calgary International Airport (YYC) with its Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.
This follows a similar announcement from Porter in July of a non-stop route between YOW and Edmonton International Airport (YEG), which began Oct. 4, with one daily roundtrip flight using the Embraer aircraft.
“This exciting addition to our flight offerings not only strengthens business and government ties between our regions, but also enhances tourism opportunities for travellers seeking a seamless connection to our country’s capital city,” said Myron Keehn, president and CEO of YEG, in a news release in July.
