“We are very excited to welcome Alaska Airlines to Toronto Pearson. Their service to Seattle will provide much-needed capacity to the market and enhance customer choice,” said Kurush Minocher, Executive Director, Customer Experience and Airline Relations, Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “Last year, over a third of passengers traveled between Toronto and Seattle, and we’re delighted to enable this service for thousands of passengers while simplifying travel to the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii.”
In Toronto, Alaska Airlines passengers will be able to connect to destinations throughout eastern Canada and beyond, including Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax and St. John’s, thanks to the agreement with Porter Airlines.
