TORONTO — Porter Airlines and Pascan Aviation have announced a new partnership aimed at improving air connectivity across Eastern Canada.

This collaboration leverages Porter’s expanding North American network and Pascan’s regional flights serving Québec and the Maritimes.

Travellers can now connect between Porter and Pascan flights through Halifax and Québec City, with over 90 available connecting routes. The partnership links eight Pascan destinations across Canada’s eastern provinces with Porter’s broader North American service.

The interline agreement enables year-round travel on long-haul routes such as Vancouver–Sydney, N.S., and Orlando–Saint John, N.B., as well as enhanced regional connectivity with routes like Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.–Bonaventure, Que., and Gaspé, Que.–Timmins, Ont. Halifax and Québec City serve as primary connecting hubs, with additional secondary options.

The upcoming opening of the new terminal at Montréal Metropolitan Airport is expected to further enhance connections. Porter will operate a substantial schedule from the airport alongside Pascan, offering travellers more convenient access through Montréal’s South Shore.

“Porter’s new partnership with Pascan means improved service and more choices for passengers across North America who travel through regional Eastern Canada,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice-president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “The upcoming opening of the new terminal at Montréal Metropolitan Airport, which Porter and Pascan will both operate flights from, will further grow this partnership and provide opportunities for travellers to connect seamlessly across the continent.”

Yani Gagnon, co-owner at Pascan Aviation, added: “This partnership along with the opening of the new terminal is truly amazing. We have been waiting for this kind of project here at the Montréal Metropolitan Airport since 2004. This will open up a whole new range of opportunities that will greatly benefit our mutual clientele.”
