Porter adds new service to Ottawa and Deer Lake

Porter Airlines has launched service between Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF), becoming the only airline to connect the two destinations with non-stop flights. The seasonal route starts with four weekly roundtrips and ends in early September.

Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines, said that: “Connecting Ottawa and Deer Lake provides travellers with an easy and enjoyable option to explore the beauty and culture of eastern Canada. There’s something for everyone.”

Porter will us the Embraer E195-E2 aircraft for these flights, with the aircraft carrying up to 132 passengers, and offering a two-by-two configuration, with no middle seats on any flight. All of Porter’s E195-E2s also have free, fast WiFi available for everyone.

The new flights have direct connections to Toronto-City, Toronto-Pearson, Hamilton, Calgary and Edmonton.

The new route complements Porter’s existing Deer Lake service from Halifax and Toronto.
