Porter Airlines is operating its largest-ever winter schedule, with up to 180 daily flights across 34 destinations. Perhaps even more impressive is that, with YYZ and YTZ flights combined, Porter is now the second-largest carrier operating out of Toronto.
Porter will operate up to 86 daily flights out of YYZ (Toronto Pearson) this winter, a 19% increase from last winter’s schedule. That includes four upcoming new options: West Palm Beach, San Diego, Thunder Bay and Palm Springs.
With this expanded schedule, Porter has become the second-largest Canadian carrier between Canada and the United States at YYZ. Flights to Florida have doubled, with up to 20 daily departures between Toronto and six destinations across the Sunshine State.
Across both YYZ and Billy Bishop (YTZ), Toronto-based Porter offers up to 9,340 seats per day with its 180 flights. It serves every Canadian province and many southern U.S. destinations, including Arizona, California, Florida, and Nevada.
“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,” said Kevin Jackson, President, Porter Airlines. “As a result, we’ve become a major competitor across North America by challenging the definition of what it means to travel in economy.”
"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," said Kurush Minocher, Executive Director of Customer Experience and Airline Relations at Toronto Pearson."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."
At YTZ, Porter will continue 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,” stated 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.”
Flights from YYZ are on the 132-seat Embraer E195-E2. On every Porter flight, passengers enjoy Porter’s signature service, including no middle seats, complimentary wine and beer served in glassware, premium snacks, plus free, fast Wi-Fi on Embraer E195-E2 routes.
