Porter Airlines is launching its inaugural flight from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) to Nashville (BNA) this morning at 11EDT.
The airline says the new route reflects its "overall presence at Toronto’s downtown airport" while the Nashville connection marks a new region for the carrier in the US south.
Back in February, Porter president Kevin Jackson told Open Jaw that the carrier was looking to grow in the US market. The airline launched its first flight from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) on 03FEB, its first transborder route from Western Canada.
Porter also launched its first daily flights from Ottawa, to Windsor and Sudbury on 04MAY, as well as announcing an expansion of its sun network. It's increasing southern routes by 150% and adding four new destinations: Aruba, San Jose (Costa Rica), Montego Bay and Los Cabos.
