Air Canada will upgrade its non-stop flights from Ottawa to London-Heathrow to operate the daily service with its state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Beginning next spring, customers travelling between Ottawa and London-Heathrow will have the option to fly in Air Canada’s Signature cabin, featuring fully lie-flat suites, as well as the added choice of a Premium Economy cabin. The 255-seat Boeing 787-8, configured in three cabins of service, will be dedicated year-round to the route beginning March 29, 2020. It will replace a 211-seat Boeing 767-300ER with two cabins of service.
Air Canada also announced that it is suspending its summer-seasonal Ottawa-Frankfurt service. The last flight on this route will be operated on October 24, 2019. Customers traveling to Europe from Ottawa next summer will have an additional option to fly to Frankfurt on a new seasonal service provided by its Star Alliance partner Lufthansa, which will begin operating on May 16, 2020 and end October 24, 2020.
