In response to strong demand, Porter Airlines is doubling capacity on two key routes from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), with additional flexibility now available between YYZ and Los Angeles (LAX) and Las Vegas (LAS)

The new schedules come into effect on August 29 for Las Vegas, and September 5 for Los Angeles. The added service will see flights leave Toronto daily at 9:40 a.m. and again at 12:45 p.m. for Los Angeles, and at 1:30 p.m. and 4:20 p.m. for Las Vegas. The return flights will leave Los Angeles at 1:30 p.m. and 4:10 p.m., and depart Las Vegas at 4:20 p.m. and 11:55 p.m.

Both routes are served by the brand new Embraer E195-E2. The 132-seat aircraft offers two-by-two seating, which means no middle seat for any passengers flying Porter.

The doubled capacity provides passengers with more connection options through Porter and its airline partners. Alaska Airlines offers onward travel across the Western United States via LAS and LAX, while Porter’s extensive Eastern Canada network and Air Transat’s many European markets serve eastbound passengers from YYZ.

“Porter has seen tremendous demand for these routes since they were launched earlier this year and we’re committed to providing our passengers with options to personalize their travel experience,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice-president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “Our commitment to providing a superior economy product on every flight is resonating with passengers, who are telling us they love the Porter experience.”
