Porter Takes Off To Tampa, Florida

Porter Airlines is launching daily, roundtrip service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Tampa (TPA). This is the first U.S. route operated by any airline with the state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2.

Tampa is the first of five destinations and seven routes that Porter is starting across Florida this fall. Service includes Toronto Pearson to Tampa, Fort Myers (RSW), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Miami (MIA); as well as Ottawa International Airport (YOW) to Fort Lauderdale  and Orlando.

Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines, said: “Canadians represent the largest group of international travellers to Florida, and now they can choose to fly with the only airline that emphasizes style, care and charm in every aspect of the flight experience. With Porter, your vacation begins as soon as you step inside the aircraft.”
