WestJet announces new seasonal non-stop service between Ottawa and Las Vegas
August 11, 2010 WestJet today announced the upcoming launch of a new seasonal non-stop service between Ottawa and Las Vegas. In addition to this new route, WestJet will also increase the frequency of flights from Ottawa to Cancun, Punta Cana, Montego Bay and Fort Lauderdale. 'We are thrilled to be able to offer the people of Ottawa and its surrounding area the chance to escape to another fantastic vacation destination this winter,' said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Planning. 'There is a strong demand in the region for affordably priced travel and, if the success of our service from Ottawa to other sun destinations like Orlando and Tampa is any indication, our new non-stop flights to Las Vegas will be well received by travellers from the Ottawa area searching for a great guest experience at a reasonable price.' Starting December 9, 2010, guests from Ottawa and its surrounding area will be able to fly non-stop to Las Vegas twice weekly until April 28, 2011. Also starting in December, frequency from Ottawa to Cancun will increase from two to three times weekly, from Ottawa to Punta Cana will increase from once to twice weekly, from Ottawa to Montego Bay will increase from twice to three times weekly, and from Ottawa to Fort Lauderdale will increase from once to twice weekly. These frequency increases are in addition to the recently announced year-round service from Ottawa to Vancouver and Halifax. 'As the market in Ottawa-Gatineau continues to flourish, we are delighted that WestJet recognizes our community's strength by announcing new and increased service,' said Paul Benoit, Ottawa Airport Authority President and CEO.
