Ottawa Tourism announced the reinstatement of Air Canada’s direct flight service connecting London Heathrow (LHR) and Ottawa (YOW) during IBTM 2024. Set to resume in March 2025 after a four-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this service will enhance Ottawa’s connectivity to London, Europe, and beyond.
The revival of these flights will not only facilitate easier access for visitors from the UK but will also benefit those traveling from various European and international markets via London.
The eagerly awaited reintroduction of this flight route will offer association and corporate event planners an additional direct link from Europe to Canada’s capital, enabling them to leverage the city’s comprehensive conference and event facilities. Both business and leisure travelers from the UK and other regions will enjoy improved connections, fostering increased tourism, business prospects, and economic collaboration between the two capitals.
Beginning March 31, 2025, Air Canada will resume its direct flights between London Heathrow and Ottawa. This service will be available seasonally until October 2025, with the possibility of transitioning to a year-round operation thereafter, coinciding with the airline’s introduction of its new Airbus A321XLR fleet.
Air Canada will provide five weekly non-stop flights on this route, ensuring a seamless and comfortable travel experience. This service is expected to bolster Ottawa’s emerging status as a prime destination for business events and tourism, while also presenting convenient travel options for Ottawa residents heading to London and Europe.
