Porter Airlines, a Canadian based airline, will be introducing a new, direct route between Ottawa International Airport and Las Vegas Harry Reid International airport in the fall. The company made the announcement July 30.
The new service will begin on Nov. 1 and feature services four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Joel Tkach, vice president of Business Development and Marketing in the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said in the July 30 statement, “We’re betting that Ottawa-Gatineau travelers will be all-in on Las Vegas! It’s a jackpot for YOW that Porter is once again expanding its network from Ottawa.” As well, he thinks it will be “good for the community” to feature this direct route.
