Porter Airlines is launching its largest winter schedule to date, solidifying its position as Toronto’s second-largest airline. With up to 180 daily flights to 34 destinations, Porter now offers a premium economy experience from both Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
At Toronto Pearson, Porter will operate up to 86 flights daily, marking a 19% increase from last winter. The airline has expanded its reach to 23 destinations, including new routes to West Palm Beach, San Diego, Thunder Bay, and Palm Springs. Each flight is serviced by the 132-seat Embraer E195-E2, offering advanced comfort and amenities.
With these additions, Porter has also become the second-largest Canadian carrier between Canada and the U.S. at Toronto Pearson, where flights to Florida have doubled to 20 daily departures across six popular Florida cities.
“Porter has shown commitment to making Toronto Pearson a hub by adding 21 routes since launching services in 2023,” said Kurush Minocher, Managing Director of Customer Experience and Airline Relations at Toronto Pearson. “We are excited to offer passengers even more flights, including four new destinations this winter.”
At Billy Bishop, Porter operates up to 94 flights daily across 15 Canadian and U.S. destinations, providing convenient access to downtown Toronto. “Porter Airlines began at Billy Bishop in 2006 and has grown to become one of Canada’s largest and most popular airlines,” said RJ Steenstra, CEO of PortsToronto. “We are thrilled to continue this partnership and deliver the premium service our passengers expect.”
With its 180 daily flights between these two airports, Porter offers up to 9,340 seats each day, serving all Canadian provinces and several U.S. destinations, including Arizona, California, Florida, and Nevada.
