A new destination in Austin, Texas, plus an updated presence in Chicago at O’Hare International Airport are among the highlights as Porter Airlines adds two airports and three routes to its growing North American network.
In Canada, new seasonal service between Ottawa and Deer Lake (YDF) begins June 10. Operating five times per week, the route complements existing flights from Toronto Pearson and Halifax.
Expanding Porter’s U.S. network are year-round flights between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and Toronto Pearson, beginning May 21 and operating five times weekly.
On Sept. 1, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) service to Chicago is moving from Midway (MDW) to O’Hare (ORD), providing travellers with access to the city’s primary airport and an increase of flight frequency to three per day.
Porter has served Chicago from Billy Bishop since 2008, and passengers will now benefit from the new U.S. CBP Preclearance facility opening in the coming weeks at YTZ. Future connecting itineraries will also be enabled via O’Hare with partner airlines.
These new additions to the network come shortly after Porter’s recent summer schedule announcement, which includes nine new routes, new destinations, added frequencies and the continuation of popular winter markets.
