Porter Airlines celebrating non-stop service from Hamilton to Halifax & Vancouver
Porter Airlines is celebrating new coast-to-coast air service, with inaugural flights connecting Hamilton to Halifax and Vancouver taking off today. Both routes operate with daily nonstop roundtrip service.
Flights are operated with Porter’s 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, which means there are no middle seats on any flight. Porter’s distinct approach to economy air travel features free, fast WiFi, and complimentary beer, wine, and premium Canadian snacks for everyone.
Choosing a PorterReserve fare is an option for travellers looking for an all-inclusive experience. Fresh, healthy meals, enhanced legroom at the front of the aircraft, dedicated check-in and security, and two checked bags, are just some of the perks available. The same options are offered in PorterClassic seats for passengers who prefer to individually select what matters most to them.

The Hamilton region, situated between Toronto and Niagara Falls, is growing in popularity with sports fans, concert goers and foodies alike. Travellers can take in the 100+ waterfalls along picturesque hiking trails and easily connect to Ontario’s renowned wineries. Known as the gateway to Niagara Falls, Hamilton is the perfect getaway for couples, families and friends. For business travellers, daily direct flights to and from the region make it easier and more convenient than ever to attend meetings, conferences and events. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer stay, Porter’s growing network ensures a seamless journey.
The start of service aligns with the completion of terminal enhancements at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport. From curb to gate, passengers will enjoy an enhanced guest experience with expanded curb canopies, a refresh of terminal interiors from check-in counters to gate seating, new digital signage, lighting upgrades, and architectural and design finishes that create a local sense of place.
Daily flights connecting Hamilton with Calgary (YYC), and Edmonton (YEG) begin June 11.
Porter is the only airline with comprehensive schedules at all three major airports in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area. The downtown convenience of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, combined with the North American reach of Toronto Pearson International Airport, and Hamilton International’s local appeal gives travellers throughout the Golden Horseshoe a range of choices to meet their travel needs.
Flights are available for booking at www.flyporter.com and with travel agents.
