News / Porter Airlines inaugurating new Atlantic Canada routes
Nonstop service to Deer Lake and Charlottetown takes off from Toronto Pearson

Porter Airlines is launching two new nonstop routes, connecting Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF) and Charlottetown Airport (YYG). The flights open up additional travel possibilities across the country, with connecting options via Toronto linking to Western Canada.
Deer Lake service begins, with three weekly roundtrips, while Charlottetown flights take off on June 13, with four weekly roundtrips, increasing to daily service on June 26. These new Toronto routes will operate seasonally, ending in early-September after the peak summer season.
The flight schedules are as follows:
Route | Departure | Arrival | Flight frequency | Service conclusion |
Toronto Pearson to Deer Lake | 1:55 p.m. | 6:05 p.m. | Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday | September 13 |
Deer Lake to Toronto Pearson | 7:00 p.m. | 8:36 p.m. | Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday | September 13 |

Both routes will be operated with the airline’s 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. The two-by-two configuration means there are no middle seats on any Porter flight. Passengers will enjoy Porter’s signature elevated economy experience with free, fast streaming WiFi, complimentary beer and wine, and premium Canadian snacks.
Whether it's the impressive Gros Morne hiking trails and sandy beaches in Deer Lake, the rich Canadian history and Victorian architecture in Charlottetown, or the diverse culture, arts, dining and entertainment scene of Toronto, Canadians have endless options when planning their summer travels.
Connections are available to Porter’s extensive network through Toronto. The service complements Porter’s existing summer seasonal service between Deer Lake and Halifax, and year-round service between Ottawa and Charlottetown, also providing passengers with a number of connections through Porter’s North American network. These routes are operated on the 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft.
