Canada's Porter Airlines is on a growth tear.
For most of its two-decade existence, the sleepy regional carrier focused on offering service a step better than its competitors on a fleet of de Havilland Dash 8-Q400 turboprops flying from Toronto's downtown-adjacent Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) to destinations within about 1,000 miles.
In 2023, Porter introduced its first Embraer E195-E2 jet with 132 seats, and then, the world — or at least North and Central America — opened up. The airline has extended its map to destinations in Costa Rica, Mexico and Western Canada from a new base at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
