After announcing numerous new destinations and routes in recent months, Porter is adding a direct route between Ottawa and Vancouver to its list. This announcement follows an order for the aircraft that was placed in July 2021.
Porter had only De Havilland Dash 8-400s in his fleet. Now Porter can also count on 100 new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, delivered in 2022.
With these E195-E2s, Porter can offer destinations like:

Interesting fact: On-board amenities on this flight include complimentary snacks, beer and wine and free Wi-Fi for all passengers. An offer not to be overlooked for business travelers!
For example, a round-trip flight from Ottawa to Vancouver from July 26 to August 1 costs $305.64 with the Basic fare. As you might expect, this does not include checked or carry-on baggage.
Through Ottawa, this service will provide connections between Vancouver and Charlettown, Halifax, New York, Toronto-Pearson, Toronto (Billy Bishop) and Thunder Bay.
“Ottawa is a hub for Porter’s growing North American network,” said Kevin Jackson, Porter Airlines Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. We will continue to strengthen our presence at Ottawa International Airport and offer an unparalleled level of service and travel options to economy travelers.”
Porter’s connections to Western Canada are still very new, and follow on from those recently announced between Montreal-Vancouver and Toronto-Vancouver. Starting in July, Porter will offer a total of 10 non-stop flights to and from Ottawa.
This news follows several other announcements by Porter, which has increased its service in Canada over the past year.
