Air Canada announced it 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.
“Air Canada will offer customers travelling between Ottawa and London-Heathrow the added comfort of service aboard our flagship Boeing 787 Dreamliner. With the Dreamliner, we are also now offering customers flying between Ottawa and London the additional option of Air Canada's premium economy cabin,” said Mark Galardo, vice president of network planning at Air Canada.
The 255-seat Boeing 787-8, configured in three cabins of service, will be dedicated year-round to the route beginning 29 March 2020. It will replace a 211-seat Boeing 767-300ER with two cabins of service.
Air Canada also announced it is suspending the summer seasonal, Ottawa-Frankfurt service. The last flight on this route will be operated on 24 October 2019. Customers travelling to Europe from Ottawa next summer will have an additional option to fly to Frankfurt on a new seasonal service provided by the Star Alliance partner Lufthansa, which will begin operating on 16 May 2020 and end on 24 October 2020.
