Porter connecting Hamilton-Ottawa with new daily flights

Porter Airlines is adding a new link between Hamilton and Ottawa International Airport (YOW) with the launch of new nonstop service.

Service begins June 22, with two daily flights operated by Porter’s 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. The route gives Hamilton travellers convenient access to Ottawa, while also connecting to 11 destinations through Porter’s YOW hub.

The comes following the recent announcement of 14x weekly service between the new Montreal Metropolitan Airport (MET) and Hamilton. Porter now serves 12 year-round and seasonal destinations from YHM, spanning across Canada, and multiple destinations in Florida and Mexico. This reflects the airline’s continued investment in the region.

Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines, said: “This new route gives passengers more options and greater convenience. Hamilton travellers can now fly seamlessly to Ottawa and easily connect to destinations across Atlantic Canada and the U.S. East Coast, including Boston and New York.”

Pierce continued: “At the same time, Ottawa passengers gain direct access to Hamilton, the gateway to Niagara region wineries, 100-plus waterfalls and a vibrant culinary scene – there’s lots to explore for every type of visitor.”
