Porter Airlines is inaugurating two new seasonal routes from Ottawa this month.
The carrier began service between Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) on 22NOV, offering up to four weekly departures. Flights to Fort Myers (RSW) will commence on 28NOV, with up to three weekly departures.
“As one of the largest carriers operating out of Ottawa, we’re pleased to add these seasonal routes to give travellers more options when they’re planning their winter travel to Florida. Our distinct approach to economy air travel will provide them with an elevated experience that no other airline in North America offers," said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer
Porter says the new routes aim to provide more travel options for Canadians seeking warm-weather destinations this winter.
