Today, Porter Airlines celebrated the departure of its first nonstop flight from San Diego International Airport (SAN) to Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) during an inaugural celebration. Porter Airlines is the 18th airline to offer service from SAN.
This inaugural flight marks the beginning of four-weekly nonstop flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and further expands service from San Diego to Toronto and other Canadian destinations. Passengers can also enjoy seamless connections to Europe with Porter’s airline partner, Air Transat through connections at Toronto-Pearson airport.
“We welcome Porter Airlines to San Diego International Airport,” said Kimberly Becker, President and CEO, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “We look forward to providing San Diegans more nonstop service to this international, cosmopolitan city known for business, finance, arts, sports, and culture, while giving Torontonians expanded service to our key business sectors and fabulous beaches.”
All nonstop SAN-YYZ flights are operated with the new Embraer E195-E2 that features 132-seats in a two-by-two seating configuration per row –which means no middle seat– and is equipped with free Wi-Fi for all passengers.
