Porter Adds Edmonton As Its Latest Destination

Porter Airlines is adding Edmonton to its network, with flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Edmonton International Airport (YEG). Edmonton is the newest destination for Porter’s new Embraer E195-E2 jet service, which currently includes Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal.

The initial flight schedule starts in February 2023 with one daily flight, increasing to three daily flights in April for additional flexibility. Connecting flights with Ottawa and Montreal will also be available.

Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines, said: “This represents the introduction of Edmonton to our network and also a new approach to flying that Edmontonians haven’t experienced in the past. Our emphasis on high-quality service and competitive fares for every passenger sets Porter apart. No other airline does this and we are eager to remind Edmontonians that flying is something to look forward to.”

Flights on the Edmonton-Toronto Pearson route will operate on 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.

Flights can now be booked by going to www.flyporter.com and Porter Escapes vacation packages will be available soon.

New routes will be announced regularly.
