TORONTO — Porter Airlines is adding two more U.S. destinations to its growing network.
Starting in January 2024 the carrier will offer daily roundtrip service connecting Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
The new routes will be operated by Porter’s E195-E2 aircraft, featuring a 132-seat, all-economy, two-by-two configuration. There are no middle seats on any Porter flight.
“Porter’s onboard experience focuses on providing economy travellers with service that is unmatched by any carrier in North America. We believe that every passenger deserves genuine hospitality and high-quality service that makes time onboard our aircraft something to look forward to. Our arrival in California will be welcomed by those looking for a new way to travel between the west coast and Canada,” says Kevin Jackson, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Porter Airlines.
Effective Jan. 16, flights to L.A. will depart Toronto at 10:30 a.m., arriving at LAX at 1:05 p.m. On the return leg, flights will depart LAX at 2:45 p.m., arriving back in Toronto at 10:32 p.m.
And starting Jan. 25, flights to San Francisco will depart Toronto at 10:30 a.m., arriving at SFO at 1:22 p.m. On the return leg, flights will depart SFO at 2:50 p.m., arriving back in Toronto at 10:36 p.m.
“We are thrilled to welcome Porter Airlines to SFO. This service offers San Francisco Bay Area travellers an exciting new way to Canada and reflects our own commitment to making travel more sustainable. We thank Porter for making SFO part of their expansion in the United States, and are confident this new service will be a success,” said Ivar C. Satero, airport director, San Francisco International Airport.
Connections are available throughout Porter’s Canadian network, including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax and St. John’s. The new routes complement Porter’s existing U.S. markets served with the E195-E2 to five destinations in Florida that launch this fall: Tampa, Fort Myers, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
