Porter Airlines is inaugurating a new route between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) today.

It is Porter’s sixth destination in Florida, joining Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Miami, Orlando and Tampa.

The new nonstop, daily service, which began on November 14, 2024, is operated aboard the Embraer E195, the 132-seat aircraft featuring a two-by-two configuration that eliminates middle seats. It departs Toronto at 2:25 p.m., arriving in West Palm Beach at 5:35 p.m.; returning from West Palm Beach at 6:35 p.m., arriving in Toronto at 9:50 p.m.

“Florida has quickly grown to be one of Porter’s most popular U.S. markets,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines. “Passengers appreciate having more options when planning their winter getaways and the elevated onboard experience means their vacation begins the moment they step onboard. The Palm Beaches is a great addition to our route map.”

“On behalf of Palm Beach International Airport, we’re thrilled to welcome Porter Airlines with nonstop service between Toronto and Palm Beach International Airport,” said Laure Beebe, director of airports, Palm Beach County. “The new service will strengthen our connection to one of North America’s most vibrant cities, enhancing travel convenience and options for our passengers. We look forward to a successful partnership with Porter Airlines as we continue to expand our international offerings and provide even greater accessibility to South Florida.”

Milton Segarra, president and CEO, Discover The Palm Beaches, added that the new direct route from Canada makes it easier than ever for Canadians to experience the 39 cities and towns that make up The Palm Beaches’ collection. “It enhances connectivity with our largest international market and will help boost Canadian tourism for the season,” he said.

PorterReserve fares provide an all-inclusive economy experience, with fresh, healthy meals, premium cocktails, dedicated airport check-in, ticketing flexibility, early boarding, and more legroom.
