Connections and Expanded Network

This service provides convenient connections through Toronto Pearson to Porter Airlines’ extensive domestic network, which includes key destinations such as Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montréal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. Additionally, thanks to an interline partnership with JetBlue, passengers will have access to numerous connections to the southern United States from LaGuardia.

Onboard Experience

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.
WiFi: Free and high-speed for all passengers.
Additional Services: Premium snacks, beer, and wine served in glassware.

The new service to LaGuardia will complement Porter’s existing operations at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Andrew Pierce, Vice President of Network Planning and Reporting at Porter Airlines, highlighted the significance of this expansion: “We have built a strong passenger base over more than 15 years between Canada and the New York metropolitan area. Adding LaGuardia brings a new dimension to our network, offering more options for current customers and attracting new ones in this busy air corridor between Canada and the United States.”
