Porter Airlines <\/strong>has formally initiated operations from Montreal Metropolitan Airport (MET)<\/strong>, a major, privately funded domestic transportation infrastructure project located in Longueuil, on Montreal\u2019s South Shore. Strategically timed for the summer travel season, this launch will immediately expand the city’s connectivity through a massive deployment of domestic routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MET\u2019s strategic location, characterized by its close proximity to the city center, will significantly improve air access for one of Canada’s most prominent urban hubs. Passenger traffic projections for the airport terminal are optimistic: it is estimated to reach one million users during its first year of operation, with a target of scaling up to four million annually once the airport reaches full capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Deluce, CEO of Porter Airlines, highlighted the impact of this rollout: “Launching 11 routes at once from a new airport to transform a city\u2019s connectivity is exceptional. This is truly significant for the people, economy, and tourism of Montreal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the executive noted that initial demand is already outperforming the company’s expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
