Porter Airlines is operating its largest-ever winter schedule, with the carrier claiming its 180 daily flights across 34 destinations make it the second largest carrier in Toronto, operating out both Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
At Toronto Pearson, Porter will operate up to 86 daily flights, a 19% increase from last winter’s schedule. The airline is now serving 23 destinations, including four upcoming new options: West Palm Beach, San Diego, Thunder Bay and Palm Springs. Every flight from Toronto Pearson is operated by the state-of-the-art, 132-seat Embraer E195-E2.
With the expanded schedule, Porter says it is also the second-largest Canadian carrier between Canada and the US at Toronto Pearson. Notably, its flights to Florida have doubled, with up to 20 daily departures between Toronto and six destinations across the Sunshine State.
“Porter has demonstrated their commitment to building a hub at Toronto Pearson with an impressive 21 routes launching from our airport since it started service in 2023,” said Kurush Minocher, Executive Director Customer Experience and Airline Relations, Toronto Pearson.
At Billy Bishop, Porter continues to offer up to 94 daily flights to 15 destinations, serving both domestic Canada and US markets.
Across both airports, Porter offers up to 9,340 seats per day with its 180 flights, and offers service to every Canadian province and to many southern US destinations including Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada.
