Ottawa travellers will be able to fly year-round from the capital to Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Porter Airlines.

In November, Porter launched a new winter seasonal route from the Ottawa International Airport (YOW) to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), with flights four times a week.

A Porter Airlines spokesperson confirms to CTV News Ottawa that Porter has extended the Ottawa-Vegas route to year-round.

“I can tell you that we’ve seen positive bookings on YOW-LAS and it has been extended to year-round service,” Porter said in a statement on Wednesday.

The Porter Airlines winter schedule sees flights offered between Ottawa and Las Vegas on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Porter says it is also extending the Ottawa-Fort Lauderdale service to year-round.

Porter Airlines offers several flights out of the Ottawa International Airport, including to Las Vegas, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Newark and Boston, along with several Canadian destinations.
