Air Canada Extends Ottawa–London Heathrow Flights Year-Round
Air Canada has announced that its non-stop flights between Ottawa and London Heathrow will continue during the Winter 2025–26 season. This service will ensure year-round connections between Canada’s capital and the United Kingdom’s largest airport. Flights can be booked through aircanada.com, Air Canada Contact Centres, or by visiting travel agents.
“Air Canada is maintaining connectivity between Ottawa and London, offering convenience for business, government, and leisure travellers from the National Capital Region and abroad,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer, and President of Cargo at Air Canada.

“This extension reflects Air Canada’s ongoing service to our region. Direct connections between Canada’s Capital Region and the UK are important for travellers, businesses, and the community,” said Susan Margles, President and CEO of Ottawa International Airport Authority.

“Most Canadian air cargo moves in the belly of passenger aircraft. The continuation of the Ottawa–London service improves access to the UK and Europe, supporting exporters, trade and investment,” stated The Honourable Maninder Sidhu, Minister of International Trade.

“I welcome the year-round service from Ottawa to London Heathrow. It strengthens Ottawa’s position as a business and visitor destination, improves accessibility, and supports economic activity,” said Mark Sutcliffe, Mayor of Ottawa.

“This service ensures continued connectivity with our top overseas market,” said Michael Crockatt, President and CEO of Ottawa Tourism.
“We remain focused on supporting this route through marketing and by presenting Ottawa as an appealing destination for all visitors.”
