The routes will be operated on Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, which have a single-class capacity of 132 passengers in a 2-2 configuration, with no intermediate seating. The airline will offer free WiFi on these flights for all passengers and include a selection of snacks, beer and wine.

“The addition of these routes builds on our commitment to expand our Eastern Canadian network. Passengers in Ottawa and Montreal now have even more options to choose from when planning their winter travel,” commented Kevin Jackson, president of Porter Airlines.
