Porter Airlines is introducing daily roundtrip service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Tampa (TPA). The airline said this is the first U.S. route operated by any airline with the Embraer E195-E2.
"Canadians represent the largest group of international travellers to Florida, and now they can choose to fly with the only airline that emphasizes style, care and charm in every aspect of the flight experience. With Porter, your vacation begins as soon as you step inside the aircraft," said Kevin Jackson, EVP and CCO of Porter Airlines.
Tampa is the first of five destinations and seven routes that Porter is starting across Florida this fall. Service includes YYZ to TPA, Fort Myers (RSW), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Miami (MIA), as well as Ottawa International Airport (YOW) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO).
