Capital at a human pace
Ottawa is a capital where national institutions meet the river, walking paths and distinct neighbourhoods. The Parliament precinct is an obvious starting point, but ByWard Market and the water’s edge tell a more everyday story.

Data position: AIRPORT EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT FOR FURTHER MISSION ANALYSIS
Airport basic data insufficient for final aircraft suitability
What is not yet proven: 2016–2025 actual route winds, two-way validated IFR paths, OEM trip fuel and A220 runway performance.
The airport evidence makes this a research candidate, not an operating or safety approval.

Explore the landscape
The Ottawa River joins and separates communities, while the Rideau Canal adds a seasonal perspective: the same route through the city is read differently in summer and winter.
Why we are studying it
The portfolio review identifies further evidence to obtain. End-to-end routing, current notices and aircraft-specific performance have not been cleared; this remains a research question.
Under assessment · 3,038.3 NM · Technical research, not an operational authorization or promise of service.
