Air Canada will reinstate services between the capital cities of London and Ottawa next year, with a four-times-weekly seasonal service commencing on 31 March.
Flights will be operated by the airline’s three-cabin B787 Dreamliner aircraft and are on sale now.
Services will depart London Heathrow’s Terminal 2 on Mondays and Thursdays at 14.05, arriving in Ottawa at 16.35 local time, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 12.40, arriving at 15.20.
Flights from Ottawa will depart on Mondays and Thursdays at 18.40, arriving in London at 06.30 local time the following day, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 20.55, arriving at 08.35 the following day.
The additional services will see Air Canada serving London Heathrow from six Canadian cities, with up to 63 weekly flights, in summer 2025.
“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,” said Mark Galardo, executive vice president – revenue and network planning at Air Canada.
“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.”
Galardo said that the future delivery of Air Canada’s Airbus A321XLR fleet beginning in late 2025 will enable the carrier to consider operating the route year-round and with more frequencies.
