TORONTO — Starting this spring Porter Airlines will offer daily, roundtrip service between Toronto-Pearson and Québec City.

The new flights linking Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport and Toronto Pearson start May 17.

Service is initially planned as seasonal. The new route is so far scheduled to run until Oct. 26.

This service complements existing Porter flights between Québec City and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Through Toronto Pearson, the new route will connect to Western Canada destinations including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg.

“This new service will more than double our capacity between Toronto and Québec City, and gives passengers more opportunities to choose our elevated economy experience on the route. Being able to choose flights at Billy Bishop and Pearson demonstrates the range of choice that travellers have when flying to and from Toronto, with Porter having significant presence at both airports,” says Kevin Jackson, President, Porter Airlines.
