Ottawa and this Region both have strong tech sectors with several companies having operations in both. I can't remember Bearskin's rationale when they stopped service, but it did operate for a number of years.
The Bearskin flight was only a five seater. I work in the tech industry and the number of contacts with Ottawa continues to go down. Back in the days of BNR we could have had a decent size plane going back and forth every day. Even during the Nortel years. Today, not so much. Moreover, the place to do a startup used to be Kanata. Now it is Toronto, Waterloo or Vancouver.
