The new daily roundtrip flights will be served by the sophisticated 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.
The two-by-two seating configuration ensures there are no middle seats on any Porter flight, promising a comfortable and spacious journey for all passengers.
Strengthening Connections Across Canada
This expansion serves as a strategic bridge, connecting Montréal to Halifax, Toronto-Pearson, and Toronto-City.
The flights through Montréal complement the existing non-stop western service from Toronto-Pearson and Ottawa to each market, creating a comprehensive and efficient network.
Porter’s recent partnership with Air Transat opens up additional avenues for travelers, encompassing regions in North America, Europe, and southern destinations.
This collaboration enhances the overall travel experience, providing passengers with a broader spectrum of choices and seamless connections worldwide.
