Porter Airlines

Canadians have a new, direct route to sunny Arizona.

Porter Airlines on 03OCT began daily, non-stop flights between YYZ and PHX. It marks Porter’s first flights to the Grand Canyon State, a popular spot for vacationing Canadians.

Phoenix and next-door Scottsdale are known for their stunning desert landscapes, world-renowned resorts, and vibrant food and arts scenes.

“This inaugural flight from Toronto to Phoenix builds on Porter's growing Western U.S. presence - now with service in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego and San Francisco,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines “Our unique approach to economy air travel is something that Arizona will welcome, as we continue delivering on our promise of making flying better.”
