TORONTO — Porter Airlines says it will operate its largest-ever combined winter schedule from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and Toronto Pearson.
The 2024-25 winter schedule includes up to 180 daily flights from both YYZ and YTZ, to 34 destinations.
PORTER’S PEARSON FLIGHTS
From Pearson, Porter will operate up to 86 daily flights, a 19% increase from last winter’s schedule.
The airline is now serving 23 destinations, including four upcoming new options: West Palm Beach, San Diego, Thunder Bay and Palm Springs. Every flight from Toronto Pearson is operated on 132-seat Embraer E195-E2s.
With this expanded schedule, Porter has become the second-largest Canadian carrier between Canada and the U.S. at Toronto Pearson.
Flights to Florida have doubled, with up to 20 daily departures between Toronto and six destinations across the Sunshine State.
Kurush Minocher, Executive Director Customer Experience and Airline Relations, Toronto Pearson, said: ”Porter has demonstrated their commitment to building a hub at Toronto Pearson with an impressive 21 routes launching from our airport since it started service in 2023. We celebrate the new four destinations launching this winter and look forward to continuing to evolve our partnership to bring passengers even more options on routes.”
PORTER’S YTZ FLIGHTS
At Billy Bishop, Porter continues to offer up to 94 daily flights to 15 destinations, serving both domestic Canada and U.S. markets.
“Porter Airlines began its journey at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport in 2006 and has grown to become one of Canada’s most cherished and largest airlines” said RJ Steenstra, President and CEO of PortsToronto, which owns and operates the airport.
“This winter, we are excited to collaborate with the Porter Airlines team to continue providing the award-winning service that our passengers have come to expect, ensuring they reach their destinations with ease,” said Steenstra.
UP TO 9,340 SEATS PER DAY
Across both airports, Porter offers up to 9,340 seats per day with its 180 flights, making it the second-largest airline in Toronto.
The airline offers service to every Canadian province and to many southern U.S. destinations including Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada.
Kevin Jackson, President, Porter Airlines, said: “Becoming the second-largest carrier in Toronto is the result of our passengers’ response to Porter’s elevated experience and the service provided by the entire Porter team. As a result, we’ve become a major competitor across North America by challenging the definition of what it means to travel in economy.”
