TORONTO — Porter Airlines has just unveiled its largest-ever summer schedule out of Toronto.

During the summer season, the airline will offer up to 176 daily flights to 27 destinations across North America from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ).

By August, Porter will be the third-largest carrier flying from YYZ , with up to 74 daily flights to 16 destinations across Canada and the United States. Every flight from YYZ is flown by the brand new, 132-seat Embraer E195-E2.

Routes from YYZ feature destinations in the United States such as Florida, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco, plus Canadian cities like Halifax, Quebec City, St. John’s, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria, Winnipeg and Saskatoon.

From YTZ, there’ll be up to 102 daily flights to 15 destinations, all operated by the 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft. Porter exclusively provides nonstop service from Billy Bishop to popular destinations like New York-Newark, Chicago-Midway, Boston, Halifax, Washington D.C.-Dulles and Thunder Bay.

“Porter is offering passengers a level of generous economy service they will not receive from any other carrier serving Toronto and we’re continuing to provide passengers with more choice from both of the airports that serve the Greater Toronto community,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines.

“It was only last February that Porter started flying out of Toronto-Pearson, so to have grown to become the third-largest carrier this summer reinforces the fact that once passengers try our style of economy travel, we are seeing them choose to fly us again and to more destinations. We will continue to expand the number of destinations served as we take delivery of more of our Embraer E195 aircraft,” Jackson added.

Connecting flights within Porter’s own network, and globally through its partners are also available using Billy Bishop and Pearson. Through YYZ, there is access to European cities like London, Paris and Amsterdam through the airline’s partnership with Air Transat.

Porter offers an elevated economy experience on board, with a two-by-two configuration on every aircraft, ensuring no middle seats on any flight. Free premium snacks and free beer and wine, served in glassware, are included in every fare. Passengers flying on routes served by the Embraer E195-E2 enjoy free, fast WiFi and access to fresh, healthy meals.
