Porter Airlines has officially returned to all 18 of its year-round destinations, with the addition of Fredericton, Saint John, N.B., Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Timmins and Windsor.
Porter flights initially restarted on Sept. 8, after suspending service due to the pandemic, and destinations have been progressively added over the past month. The initial flight schedule, including flight frequency, can be found at www.flyporter.com.
“It’s a significant milestone in our recovery, as we return to all of our year-round markets,” said Porter president and CEO Michael Deluce in an Oct. 6 news release. “Over 1,000 Porter team members are now at work supporting these efforts, as we focus on recalling our complete workforce and adding more flights in the coming months.”
Porter says that it has strengthened its existing standards with a focus on high levels of sanitization in order to protect the health of its passengers and team members. More information about the Healthy Flights program can be found on Porter’s website.
“Passengers have the option to book a flight with the full refund option for $40 plus taxes,” Porter said. “The refund option entitles customers to receive a refund, including base fare, taxes and fees, for their booking upon advance cancellation of their flight for any reason.”
The airline currently offers flights to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, Halifax, St. John’s, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Timmins, Windsor, New York (Newark), Chicago (Midway), Boston and Washington (Dulles), and has seasonal flights to Mt.
