Bearskin Airlines offers direct flights from KW

Here's some great news, Bearskin Airlines commenced non-stop service today (Oct 2) between the Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) and Ottawa (YOW). The schedule includes three flights each business day plus a Sunday service.

Why is this good news? How about the fact that is takes less time to fly between KW and Ottawa than it takes to drive to Toronto’s Pearson Airport from the Waterloo Region. According to Bearskin, up to four hours can be saved on a round trip flight by using the new non-stop service.

Participation in the Aeroplan Frequent Flyer Program and primetime morning and evening service are geared to serving the business community who commute regularly. It is expected that the frequent business traveller will embrace the convenience of the Region of Waterloo International Airport. This service is expected to be particularly convenient for those in the hightech and financial industry with offices in Ottawa and Waterloo Region.

Founded in 1963, Bearskin Airlines is one of Canada’s oldest privately owned commuter airlines. With the addition of service to the Region of Waterloo International Airport the company will offer over 100 scheduled flights daily to 17 destinations from Flin Flon and Winnipeg in the west to Ottawa in the east. Waterloo Region will be the southernmost destination served.
