You can now fly direct from Ottawa to Victoria on Porter Airlines

  • Porter Airlines launched a new nonstop flight connecting Ottawa International Airport and Victoria International Airport on May 15, 2025.
  • The route responds to rising domestic travel demand amid Canada-U.S. Tensions and leverages the cities' national importance and tourism appeal.
  • The service started with four weekly roundtrips using Porter’s 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring two-by-two seating with no middle seats.
  • Elizabeth Brown, Victoria Airport CEO, said the route shows confidence in the market and could lead to more nonstop flights in the future, while tourism leaders highlighted its business impact.
  • The new connection offers faster cross-country travel, boosts Victoria’s role in domestic air travel, and is expected to expand to daily service by mid-June 2025.
