Porter Airlines has launched nonstop service to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

The new route marks another step in strengthening international connectivity between Central Texas and Toronto, while expanding Porter’s growing North American network.

The year-round service will operate five times weekly, providing travellers across the Austin region with a direct connection to Toronto, while opening the door to onward travel across Porter’s Canadian Network.

For businesses, universities, and visitors traveling between the two cities, the route creates new opportunities to build stronger economic and cultural ties between Texas and Canada.

Kevin Jackson, President, Porter Airlines, said that: “Austin is one of North America’s most dynamic and fastest-growing cities, making it an ideal fit for Porter’s own growing network of flights. This route opens exciting new opportunities for business, tourism and cultural exchange between the two vibrant cities.”

And Jackson added: “We look forward to welcoming Central Texas travelers onboard and introducing them to Porter’s elevated flying experience.”

Ghizlane Badawi, Chief Executive Officer of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, said that: “Welcoming Porter Airlines to AUS is an exciting milestone for our airport and the Central Texas region. Each new international connection strengthens Austin’s role as a global destination and supports the economic vitality of our community. This service to Toronto provides our passengers with another seamless travel option while also inviting new visitors to discover everything that makes Austin unique.”

With the addition of Porter Airlines, AUS continues to expand its international network while supporting the region’s growing demand for global travel and connectivity.
