Add Sault Ste. Marie to Porter Airlines' ever-expanding list of destinations.
Robert Deluce, president and CEO of the Toronto-based regional air carrier is making good on his 2006 commitment to return to his Northern Ontario roots.
The airline now has three Northern cities on its route map with a late February announcement that Porter was introducing two daily flights between the Sault and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, starting May 4.
With four new Bombardier Q400 aircraft being added to their 20-plane fleet this spring, Deluce said the time was right to deepen his foothold in the region by adding a city he considers an “important market.”
“The cities that we've chosen right now to add service to are the ones that best fit our development at this stage,” siad Deluce, “especially when you take into consideration the aircraft deliveries, our overall network plan, and our growth strategy.”
Porter is also adding a second roundtrip flight to Sudbury-Toronto run on April 27, and is launching new service to Windsor on the same day.
All flights are connected to Porter's main Toronto hub. One-way fares for the Sault-Toronto route start at $99.
