PORTER LAYS OUT PEARSON PLAN FOR SUMMER

Porter Airlines is launching its summer schedule June 1 at Toronto Pearson International Airport featuring additional flexibility for passengers travelling between Toronto and Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.

The new schedule adds more desirable flight times that are well-distributed throughout the day, says the airline, adding that certain routes will see a further increase in flights by August. A greater number of coast-to-coast connecting flight options via Porter’s YYZ hub are also created with this new schedule.

Roundtrip frequencies from Pearson include:

• Ottawa – 3
• Montreal – 4
• Halifax – 2
• Vancouver – 5
• Edmonton – 3
• Calgary – 3

Porter operates the 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 on all Toronto Pearson routes, featuring an all-economy, two-by-two configuration. Porter is the only airline with no middle seats on every flight.

“Porter is known to provide high-frequency, daily service on its core routes. Consistent with this approach, we’re continuing our planned growth at Toronto Pearson and investing to provide passengers with the travel options they value,” said Porter Airlines executive VP and COO Kevin Jackson.

He added, “Travellers can count on even more flights being added to these markets, as well as entirely new destinations being announced in the coming months.”
