Porter Airlines has launched a new route connecting Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) with St John’s International Airport (YYT). The new service will be operated with Porter’s E195-E2 aircraft and is set to launch on 7 September 2023.
The route will operate one daily non-stop round trip flight, also connecting Porter’s east coast network to its new west coast destinations, including Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg.
“St John’s has been an important destination in our Eastern Canada network for many years,” said Kevin Jackson, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Porter Airlines. “St John’s knows Porter provides a level of onboard service that is unmatched by any other carrier, and we’re excited to now offer our elevated economy service for them to Toronto-Pearson and Western Canada.”
“We are thrilled with Porter’s expansion from St. John’s to Toronto-Pearson using the new Embraer aircraft, which builds on the current capacity that Porter has at YYT,” said Dennis Hogan, Chief Executive Officer, St John’s International Airport Authority. “This new route demonstrates Porter’s confidence in the St. John’s market, and we look forward to continuing our valued partnership.”
