TORONTO — Porter Airlines is doubling capacity on two key routes from Toronto Pearson, with additional flexibility now available between YYZ and Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

The new schedules come into effect on Aug. 29 for Las Vegas, and Sept. 5 for Los Angeles.

Both routes are served by Porter’s new 132-passenger Embraer E195-E2, with no middle seats.

There are additional connections available on the LAX and LAS routes through Porter and its airline partners. Alaska Airlines offers onward travel across the Western U.S. via LAS and LAX, while Porter’s extensive Eastern Canada network and Air Transat’s many European markets serve eastbound passengers from YYZ.

“Porter has seen tremendous demand for these routes since they were launched earlier this year, and we’re committed to providing our passengers with options to personalize their travel experience,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “Our commitment to providing a superior economy product on every flight is resonating with passengers, who are telling us they love the Porter experience.”
