WestJet adds Ottawa flight

FORT MYERS — Canadian discount airline WestJet will inaugurate a weekly flight from Fort Myers to the Canadian capital city of Ottawa on Saturday.

The additional flight comes as hoteliers report an increasing number of visitors from Canada and Realtors say a greater number of Canadians are buying residential real estate in Southwest Florida.

The airline will operate the weekly flight on Saturdays between Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers and Ottawa's Macdonald-Cartier International Airport using a 737-700 aircraft.
