As some Canadian airlines look to cut costs and lower ticket prices, Porter Airlines is catering to a more premium economy experience.
The Toronto-based airline has made a series of announcements over the past two weeks in preparation for the delivery of 30 aircraft ordered in August last year.
Currently, the airline operates 29 aircraft focusing on Eastern Canada and North Eastern U.S.
As of Feb. 7, Porter will fly from Toronto Pearson to Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal, starting at $225 for a round-trip flight.
The airline also has plans for daily flights to Calgary and Edmonton from Pearson as of mid-February for $262.
Porter’s flights out of Ottawa International Airport will also be expanding as the airline announced new routes to New York City, Boston, Quebec City and Thunder Bay as of March 26….
