Porter launches flights from Hamilton to Calgary & Edmonton

Porter Airlines has officially launched non-stop service from Hamilton to Calgary and Edmonton, giving travellers more options to travel between Alberta and Southern Ontario.

Operating on Porter’s 132-seat Embraer E195-E2, the flights offer a two-by-two seating configuration with no middle seats. Porter’s elevated economy experience also includes complimentary beer and wine in glassware, premium Canadian snacks, and free, fast WiFi.

Travellers seeking an all-inclusive journey can select PorterReserve, which adds fresh, healthy meals, extra legroom, checked bags, and priority check-in and security. PorterClassic fares allow passengers to mix and match those benefits à la carte.

Initial flight schedules are as follows:

All times local.

Porter also launched its Hamilton–Halifax and Hamilton–Vancouver routes on June 3. With flights now serving four key domestic destinations, Porter’s growing Hamilton presence provides "a new range of travel possibilities across the Golden Horseshoe," the airline said.

Together with recent terminal enhancements at Hamilton International, Porter passengers benefit from greater flexibility and a more seamless travel experience throughout their journey.

“With today’s inaugural flights linking Hamilton with Calgary and Edmonton, we’re continuing to strengthen Porter’s presence across the region. These direct routes make it even easier for the Greater Hamilton community to explore Western Canada, and gives those visiting Southern Ontario convenient access to Ontario wineries and all that the Golden Horseshoe has to offer," said Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines, in a press release.
