Porter Airlines' new flights between Montreal and Vancouver mark a new era of growth for the airline.

With this launch, they discovered that it was the first route to Western Canada.

The new flights will be operated daily by the Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.

Commenting on the milestone, Kevin Jackson, President of Porter Airlines said:

“Our presence in Montreal continues to grow directly through new Porter service and strategic airline partnerships.”

“Our first western route from Montreal will bring Porter's high-cost service to even more passengers across Canada and around the world.”

This includes Marc Ruel, director of capacity and air service development at ADM Aéroports de Montréal:

“ADM Aéroports de Montréal is very pleased to add Vancouver to the destinations offered by partner Porter.”

“Whether it's for business or to explore the landscapes of Western Canada, this new non-stop service offers a range of options for passengers departing from YUL.”

“We are very pleased to support Porter in expanding its Canadian offering to meet the needs of a diverse group of travelers.”

“The quality of YUL's service is a reflection of its vitality, which benefits the entire community!”

Finally, Vancouver International Airport's Air Service Development Manager Terry Chow said:

“We congratulate Porter Airlines on launching a new daily nonstop flight between Montreal and Vancouver just in time for the spring travel season and the famous Montreal International Jazz Festival.”

“As one of YVR's most popular Canadian destinations, the new service gives passengers added convenience and flexibility when traveling.”

“This announcement further strengthens YVR's position as the gateway of choice, offering non-stop travel options.”

A representative of the growth in the airline…

Porter Airlines' milestone with new Montreal-Vancouver flights represents strong growth.

In February, they revealed a major expansion plan that includes three new crew bases:

• Ottawa
• Montreal
• Vancouver

Last month, Porter Airlines launched flights between Toronto and Las Vegas.

Finally, shortly after the inauguration of Las Vegas, flights from Montreal to Los Angeles and San Francisco were launched.

We can clearly see there that growth is very fast for a Canadian airline.

In conclusion, the new Montreal-Vancouver flights with Porter Airlines clearly reflect the overall growth of the airline.

In the future, all attention will be focused on how this new service will work, as well as whether there is an opportunity to expand it further.

It is expected to be a popular route especially during the summer season.

But for now, let's see what the performance looks like and how the airline reacts to it.
