Porter Launches Three New Routes ex YOW

Porter Airlines' new Embraer E195-E2.

Porter Airlines has launched three new routes between Ottawa International Airport and Boston, New York-Newark and Thunder Bay today, providing convenient travel links for the region.

The new routes are part of Porter’s broader expansion plan in Ottawa, including new maintenance hangars that are currently under construction at YOW. These will serve as a primary maintenance facility for the airline’s new E195-E2 fleet.

Porter is the only airline providing year-round daily direct flights to Boston and Thunder Bay from Ottawa.

“This builds on our already extensive network in Eastern Canada and substantially increases the number of destinations served directly from Ottawa,” said Kevin Jackson, Porter’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer. “Porter connects passengers coast-to-coast, with the level of service and generosity that economy travellers deserve."

Porter will fly from Ottawa to Boston once a day, and to New York-Newark and Thunder Bay twice daily.

The new daily non-stop routes are served by 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft.

A number of one-stop connecting routes are also created with the introduction of these flights. Porter currently operates eight non-stop routes from Ottawa International Airport, with Charlottetown scheduled to become the ninth on 17MAY. Detailed schedules can be found on www.flyporter.com.
