Air Canada’s direct flight service between London Heathrow (LHR) and Ottawa (YOW) is set to re-launch in March 2025, following a four-year hiatus due to Covid. The service will strengthen Ottawa’s connections not only to London, but to Europe and beyond.
The highly anticipated return of the route will provide association and corporate event organisers with another direct route from Europe to Canada’s capital. Air Canada will operate the route with five weekly non-stop flights.
“Ottawa’s connectivity with the UK has always been an essential part of our city’s global outreach, and the return of this direct route will be a huge boon for both leisure and business travellers,” said Lesley Pincombe, Ottawa Tourism’s vice-president, meetings and major events.
From March 31, 2025, Air Canada will resume its direct service between London Heathrow and Ottawa and will operate on a seasonal basis until October 2025, after which point there is potential for a year-round service to commence as the airline introduces its new Airbus A321XLR fleet.
