Canadian airline, Air Canada, announced today that it’s bringing back flights between Ottawa/Macdonald–Cartier International Airport and London Heathrow Airport (LHR) beginning on March 31st. The seasonal service will run through October 2025.
Air Canada will fly the route 4x weekly (on Mondays, Thursdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays) using a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This offers passengers a choice of 30 Business Class, 21 Premium Economy, and 247 Economy Class seats. Air Canada operates its Maple Leaf Lounges in both Ottawa/Macdonald–Cartier International Airport and London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to provide guests with a space to relax and work before both their outbound and inbound flights.
Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President of Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada, said:
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. 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. Conveniently located together with our Star Alliance partner airlines in The Queen’s Terminal, Air Canada offers customers easy connections to a vast array of more than 30 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa with our airline partners. With continued demand for visiting friends, relatives, leisure and tourism, as well as supporting business and corporate travel, this route gives customers from both the National Capital Region and abroad direct, convenient international travel options to and from Ottawa.”
Air Canada will offer up to 229 weekly flights to/from Ottawa in 2025. The airport will also serve as a test location for new customer service initiatives to improve the travel experience for passengers across its network. The airline will also begin taking delivery of its new Airbus A321XLR fleet in late 2025, which could make this route become a year-round option versus seasonal.
Anthony’s Take: Air Canada is bringing back London flights from Ottawa. These might also serve as a good option price-wise for Canadians or Americans looking for award flights to Europe.
