Porter inaugurates first Western Canada route between Montréal & Vancouver

Today (April 11), Porter Airlines inaugurated service between Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The route marks Porter’s first Western Canada destination from Montréal.

“Our presence in Montréal is continuing to grow directly through new Porter service and with our strategic airline partnerships,”Kevin Jackson is the president of Porter Airlines. “Our first western route from Montréal will take Porter’s elevated economy service to even more passengers across Canada and the globe.”

New Route

The new route begins with one daily roundtrip flight operated with Porter’s state-of-the-art 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. Porter flights are configured two-by-two, which means that there are no middle seat on any flight.

The new service will offer a variety connections to Eastern Canada via YUL including Halifax, Toronto-Pearson, and Toronto-City. This service complements the existing daily non-stop services between Toronto-Pearson, and Ottawa, to Vancouver.

Porter’s codeshare partnership with Air Transat provides convenient connections from YUL throughout Europe, to destinations like Paris and London. Travelers will enjoy more choices and seamless connections.

Service from Montréal to Edmonton and Calgary begins later this spring. With the launch of the three new western destinations, Porter will operate 8 non-stop routes out of Montréal.
