Porter Airlines is launching four new Canadian and U.S non-stop routes between Ottawa and Boston, New York-Newark, Quebec City, and Thunder Bay.

The flights will commence on the 27th March 2023, and go from Ottawa International Airport. Porter will be the online airline to provide daily year-round direct flights to Boston, Quebec City and Thunder Bay. The airline currently flies to Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton and Toronto City.

The routes will be served by 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. At present, the airline has 29 of the type in its fleet.

Ottawa was the first destination when Porter launched its operations in 2006, and serves as a critical location for the airline. Michael Deluce, president and CEO, Porter Airlines commented that they “expect [Porter Airlines’] presence in Ottawa will continue growing.”

Mark Laroche, president and CEO of Ottawa International Airport Authority said that “we are thrilled to be a part of Porter’s exciting growth plans and welcome these additions to YOW’s offering.”
