Flights are operated by Air Canada's regional partner Jazz with 75-seat Bombardier 705 jet aircraft offering a choice of Executive and Economy class, and featuring Air Canada's personal inflight entertainment system available at every seat throughout both cabins.

The flights are timed for convenient connections in Ottawa to and from: Halifax, New York and Frankfurt.

Marcel Forget, vice president for network planning at Air Canada, said: “With today's departure of AC8599, Air Canada now links Ottawa and Regina with daily, non-stop service. With the strength of the Saskatchewan economy, we expect this new flight to be popular with business, government and leisure travelers alike as it reduces current travel time by nearly two hours when compared to connecting over other routings.”

Paul Benoit, president and CEO of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said: “Air Canada continues to show its commitment to the National capital region with the introduction of these new flights. There is strong demand, and this route will also provide convenient and easy connections to and from AC nonstop flights in Ottawa including Europe.”

Will the new services benefit Air Canada travelers?
