It’s been a transformative year for the airline with the launch of its new state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2 jets, introducing flights at Pearson International Airport and greatly expanding our flights in Ottawa. This expands its network coast-to-coast in Canada and into additional key U.S. markets. 

In the past 12 months, the airline has:

• Hired more than 1,000 new team members
• Taken delivery of 22 new E195-E2s
• Total fleet size of 51 aircraft including 29 Dash 8 aircraft
• Announced 26 new routes and 14 new destinations

The airline now flies as far west as Victoria and as far east as St. John’s in Canada. It is also making further headway into the U.S. with five destinations in Florida, as well as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, starting this fall and winter.

Porter is disrupting economy air travel and redefining what’s possible in the mind of consumers. 

Porter’s existing signature in-flight service, featuring complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, along with a selection of premium snacks for all passengers, are some recognizable elements of every flight. Both the Dash 8 and E195-E2 aircraft feature a two-by-two configuration, which means there are no middle seats on any Porter flight. Porter is the only airline in Canada to offer free, fast Wi-Fi for all passengers on E195-E2 flights and fresh meals are available to everyone on longer routes.
