Porter Airlines has inaugurated service between Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR) on Wednesday, July 26th. The route marks Porter’s first Western Canada destination from Ottawa.

The new route begins with one daily roundtrip flight operated with Porter’s state-of-the-art 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. It offers a variety of connections to Eastern Canada via Ottawa. 

All passengers will experience Porter’s genuine hospitality and elevated onboard service, including free, fast WiFi, a selection of premium snacks and free beer and wine served in real glassware. Priority check-in, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are also available with the all-inclusive PorterReserve fares or purchased à la carte with PorterClassic fares.

Alongside the previously-announced Ottawa-Edmonton service beginning in September, Porter operates 11 non-stop routes out of Ottawa. Detailed schedules and Porter Escapes vacation packages can be found on flyporter.com.
