Air Canada will be eliminating its direct flights from Ottawa to New York City's LaGuardia Airport at the end of March.
Instead, the airline says it will boost the number of flights from the capital to Newark International airport.
In a statement, an airline official notes Newark is about 25 kilometers from Midtown Manhattan, and will offer Air Canada customers better onward connections to their Star Alliance partner, United Airlines.
LaGuardia Airport is about 15 kilometers from Midtown.
