Porter to add Ottawa-Charlottetown route

Starting May 17, Porter Airlines will fly direct between Ottawa International Airport and Charlottetown Airport. The new daily route is to be served by 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft, the carrier said, adding it will be the sole airline offering the direct link. “Porter is continuing to invest in regional flying across Eastern Canada,” said Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “Charlottetown is an entirely new destination for us and the addition of Prince Edward Island means that Porter is serving every Atlantic Canada province for the first time.
