The addition of the YOW-YEG route will offer Western passengers connections to Eastern Canada via Ottawa. The service will complement Porter's multiple non-stop daily flights connecting YEG and YYZ.

Kevin Jackson, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Porter Airlines, said, “The addition of this route provides a higher level of connectivity across our network between Eastern and Western Canada. We welcome the opportunity to provide even more travellers across the country with an elevated economy experience that they won’t find with any other airline.”

Service includes complimentary beer and wine, snacks, and free WiFi for all passengers. Options for extra legroom, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are also available on an all-inclusive basis with PorterReserve fares or purchased individually with PorterClassic fares.

"We are pleased to join Porter Airlines in announcing their non-stop year-round flight from Edmonton to Ottawa. 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, Edmonton International Airport.

Mark Laroche, President and CEO, Ottawa International Airport Authority, said, "We are delighted that Porter Airlines is adding non-stop service between Ottawa and Edmonton to their growing list of destinations from YOW. This addition is another reason why Ottawa-Gatineau travellers should embrace Porter as their hometown carrier."
