"Like many Canadians, the people who live in and around our nation's capital look forward to getting away at some point during the winter months," said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President of Guest Experience and Marketing. "We constantly look at our network of destinations and we saw the opportunity to introduce a short-term seasonal flight for our Ottawa guests. We believe it will be successful and if so, as we continue to take delivery of aircraft in the future, the opportunity exists to extend the service."
Seats are available for sale immediately and can be booked online at westjet.com or through travel agents. More detailed information about WestJet's winter schedule and low fares is available at westjet.com. For more information on vacation packages from Ottawa, please visit westjetvacations.com.
