New Toronto to Edmonton flight on Porter Airlines

Porter Airlines is adding Edmonton to its network, with flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Edmonton International Airport (YEG).

Edmonton is the newest destination for Porter’s new Embraer E195-E2 jet service, which currently includes Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal.

Porter Airlines is giving Canadian economy travelers the ability to fly with an airline that provides an enjoyable economy air travel experience for every passenger.

The initial flight schedule starts in February 2023 with one daily flight, increasing to three daily flights in April for additional flexibility. Connecting flights with Ottawa and Montreal will also be available.

“This represents the introduction of Edmonton to our network and also a new approach to flying that Edmontonians haven’t experienced in the past,” says Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines.

“Welcoming Porter Airlines to our community is exciting for our airport, our region and the aviation industry,” says Tom Ruth, president and CEO, Edmonton International Airport (YEG). “More flights to more places means more options for travelers, businesses and visitors. We look forward to a strong partnership and future growth with Porter.”

Flights on the Edmonton-Toronto Pearson route will operate on 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.

Porter has up to 100 E195-E2 aircraft on order, providing the ability to operate throughout North America, including destinations across Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean. The airline also serves a regional network of more than 20 destinations on its De Havilland Dash 8-400 fleet, operating from a base at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
