Air Canada has confirmed that its non-stop service between Ottawa (YOW) and London Heathrow (LHR) will now operate all year round, including the winter 2025-26 season. Previously a seasonal route, this extension makes the connection a permanent feature in the airline’s international network.
The route is operated with a Boeing 787-8 aircraft, offering passengers direct access from Canada’s capital to one of the world’s busiest hubs. From Heathrow, travelers can conveniently connect to major destinations across Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa.
This decision is expected to boost trade, enhance cargo operations, and improve Ottawa’s global connectivity. It also provides businesses and residents in the capital region with greater travel flexibility and more reliable options throughout the year. Importantly, Air Canada remains the only airline offering a direct transatlantic link between Ottawa and London.
Tickets for the year-round service are already available through the airline’s booking channels.
