Porter adding new Fort McMurray-Ottawa route

Porter Airlines is introducing new service between Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and Fort McMurray International Airport (YMM); making the carrier the only airline offering nonstop service between the two destinations.

The year-round service takes off Nov. 17, 2025, with three weekly nonstop roundtrip flights.

Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines, said: “Porter is the only airline providing service between Ottawa and Fort McMurray. As the latest addition to our network, Fort McMurray is gaining valuable new air service to support its position as a key economic centre and leisure travel destination for outdoor adventure. It connects with our growing Ottawa hub, providing many connecting travel options throughout Eastern Canada and other North American locations.”

The new route also connects Fort McMurray to Porter’s extensive Eastern Canada network through Ottawa, including St. John’s, Halifax, Moncton and Toronto.

Porter continues to expand its network from Ottawa, now serving 26 destinations. Fort McMurray adds to Porter’s presence in Western Canada and is the airline’s third destination in Alberta, joining Calgary and Edmonton.
