This route expands Porter’s presence at Newark, joining the airline’s existing service to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and Ottawa International Airport (YOW). The Newark route also complements a new Toronto Pearson - LaGuardia route starting this spring. A number of connections to Porter’s domestic network are available via Montréal, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Halifax. In addition, these new flights are timed to enable connections to our partner Air Transat’s European network beyond Montréal.
