Additionally, thanks to an interline partnership with JetBlue, passengers will have access to numerous connections to the southern United States from LaGuardia.

Porter will operate this new route with its modern Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring 132 seats and designed for a superior travel experience:
- Seating Configuration: No middle seats.
