Porter Airlines to increase flights to Toronto

Porter Airlines is increasing flights on its Thunder Bay – Toronto City Airport route, from three daily round trips to five.

“Thunder Bay has been a consistently popular route and we are often at capacity on those flights,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines in a press release.

“The opportunity to add service at this time speaks to the joint efforts of Porter and Thunder Bay International Airports Authority to promote air service in the region, as well as the great support we get from people looking for competitively-priced travel alternatives.”

Porter began flying between Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and Thunder Bay in 2009, as a seasonal route.

Year-round service was added soon afterwards in response to the route’s success.
The new schedule takes effect May 25, and will operate year-round.

The airline is also doubling its service between Sudbury and Toronto starting April 27, with up to two daily roundtrip flights, increased from one.
