Air Transat launches new Ottawa-London Gatwick flights

Air Transat has launched its new non-stop service from Ottawa to London Gatwick, providing a new link between the Canadian and British capitals. Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat, said of the new service: “We are the only airline offering a non-stop flight between Ottawa and London Gatwick. It’s something we’re truly proud of and a meaningful addition for travellers in the Ottawa–Gatineau region.”

And Ponce continued: “Combined with the connections offered by our partner Porter Airlines from multiple cities across Canada and the United States, this route positions Ottawa as a genuine gateway to Europe. It perfectly reflects the type of growth we’re focused on – targeted, well-connected routes that strengthen our position in the transatlantic market.”

Flights will be operated three times a week – on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays – until October 23, 2026.

The route is operated with the Airbus A321LR, a modern aircraft recognized for its efficiency and comfort. Passengers enjoy a thoughtfully designed cabin, ergonomic seating, as well as a state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system in both Economy Class and Club Class.
