Porter Airlines is bringing new air service to Hamilton, Ont., with four routes launching in June. John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) will be connected coast to coast through daily flights to Calgary (YYC), Edmonton (YEG), Halifax (YHZ) and Vancouver (YVR), starting this June.
“This is a major win for the City of Hamilton and will significantly transform our airport’s passenger service offerings,” added Hamilton mayor Andrea Horwath.
All routes will be operated twice daily on new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. They include Hamilton to Halifax and Vancouver starting June 3; and to Edmonton and Calgary on June 11.
“The Porter experience is something that travellers in Hamilton have never seen before,” said Michael Deluce, CEO, Porter Airlines. “Our team takes great pride in delivering amenities that make flying something to look forward to, doing so with an emphasis on care and service. Hamiltonians and their neighbours have long deserved a commitment such as what Porter is making, with four routes connecting them across the country.”
He added, “We see significant opportunity in this market to expand our network across North America and believe that the community can support these initial flights, which will position us to consider offering additional service from Hamilton.”
The introduction of service coincides with airport enhancements underway at Hamilton International. From curb to gate, passengers will enjoy an enhanced guest experience with new and expanded curb canopies, a refresh of terminal interiors from check-in counters to gate seating, new digital signage, and architectural and design finishes.
“We are delighted to welcome Porter Airlines to Hamilton International as a strategic airline partner, as we invest in the success of our airport today and well into the future.” said Cole Horncastle, Executive Managing Director, John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport.
