Porter doubles capacity for Los Angeles & Las Vegas routes, citing strong demand

Citing strong demand, Porter Airlines is doubling capacity on two routes from Toronto Pearson (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.

"This provides passengers with more options to plan their travel, including connecting flight itineraries," Porter said in a statement Wednesday (June 12).

Both routes are served by the brand new Embraer E195-E2. The 132-seat aircraft offers 2-by-2 seating, which means no middle seats for any passengers flying Porter, with free Wi-Fi included for everyone.

There are additional connections available on these routes through Porter and its airline partners. Alaska Airlines offers onward travel across the Western U.S. 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, in a statement. “Our commitment to providing a superior economy product on every flight is resonating with passengers, who are telling us they love the Porter experience.”
