Porter Airlines network growth continues unabated with the announcement of two new Montreal routes offering seasonal non-stops to both Los Angeles and to San Francisco.
The new YUL-LAX route begins 27JUN, four times weekly. YUL-SFO begins 28JUN, with three-times-weekly service.
The program ends on 26OCT.
"Passengers can now more easily travel across the continent in style with Porter's unmatched elevated economy experience. These Montréal routes connect to destinations across the globe with Porter's strategic partnerships, providing more options that travellers crave," said Kevin Jackson, president of Porter Airlines.
"Passengers will now have more options to travel between Southern California and Eastern Canada and can do so more sustainably on next-generation aircraft," added Michael Christensen, Chief Operations and Maintenance Officer at Los Angeles World Airports.

"Porter offers San Francisco Bay Area travellers an exciting new way to Canada that reflects our own commitment to creating an exceptional air travel experience. We thank Porter for their continued support of SFO and are confident this new service will be a success," said Ivar C. Satero, airport director of San Francisco International Airport.
Porter's Air Transat codeshare opens up European connections from YUL to cities such as Paris, London, Rome, and Marseille. Travelers to Los Angeles and San Francisco can access Alaska Airlines' West Coast network for flights to Portland, San Diego, Seattle, and Phoenix.
