Air Canada today announced it is further boosting its schedule serving Canada’s capital region with non-stop, international flights from Ottawa to London Heathrow.
Flights will be operated four-times weekly with Air Canada’s Dreamliner fleet offering a choice of three cabins beginning March 31, 2025. Seats are available for purchase now at aircanada.com, via the Air Canada app, travel agents and Air Canada’s contact centres.
“We are very pleased to solidify Air Canada’s leadership serving our country’s capital with the resumption of trans-Atlantic services beginning next spring. In addition to London being a top global destination, Heathrow is one of the world’s primary global gateways as well as home to Air Canada’s largest international operations. ” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President – Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada.
“We are looking forward to the future delivery of Air Canada’s new Airbus A321XLR fleet. The economics, optimum cabin size and range of the XLR which is expected to begin arriving in late 2025, will enable us to consider operating this important international route with greater frequencies and potentially with year-round service,” concluded Mr. Galardo.
Air Canada’s Ottawa-London Heathrow flight resumption announcement follows its recent announcement significantly expanding services from Ottawa to points across Canada and sun leisure destinations this winter.
As Air Canada will operate up to 229 weekly flights to and from Ottawa next year across a range of regional, domestic, international and transborder flights, the carrier has designated Ottawa as a test location for trialling and refining new customer service initiatives designed to improve the customer journey.
