“New York is an essential market for Porter, and the new service to LaGuardia complements our long-standing operation at Newark,” said Andrew Pierce, vice-president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines. “By expanding access to a second major New York-area airport, we’re offering more convenience and increasing capacity for travelers. The combination of Billy Bishop, Pearson, LaGuardia and Newark is unique among airlines, providing a number of options for going back and forth between the two cities.”
“It is with great excitement that we welcome Porter Airlines to LaGuardia Terminal B as our newest airline partner operating from our world-class facility. We look forward to collaborating with Porter in delivering exceptional travel experiences to its guests journeying to and from New York through our remarkable terminal gateway,” said Suzette Noble, chief executive officer, LaGuardia Gateway Partners.
The new route offers U.S. travelers access to Porter’s expanding network of Canadian destinations. With connections through Toronto Pearson, passengers arriving from New York can reach every region of the country, including Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montréal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Vancouver.
