Porter Airlines is returning to Boston (BOS), Chicago (MDW), New York (EWR), and Washington (IAD) today. These markets each have non-stop service to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, with connecting flights to other Canadian cities.

Moncton (YQM) and St. John’s, N.L. (YYT), also returned today, with direct service to Ottawa and Halifax, respectively. After almost 18 months of suspending flights due to COVID-19, Porter restarted service on Sept. 8, and is progressively adding destinations. The initial flight schedule can be found on Porter’s website.

“It’s an exciting day as we welcome back our U.S. passengers and team members, and expand into more Atlantic Canada destinations,” said Michael Deluce, president and CEO, Porter Airlines.

Passengers entering Canada and the U.S. must follow the entry requirements of each country, including pre-departure COVID-19 testing.More information on travel requirements and restrictions can be found at www.flyporter.com.

Porter has strengthened its existing standards with a focus on high levels of sanitization in order to protect the health of its passengers and team members. More information about the Healthy Flights program can be found on Porter’s website.

In addition to Healthy Flights, Porter has also introduced a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for its team members. To support a safe and healthy workplace and travel experience, team members must present a negative COVID-19 test administered within 72 hours of the start of their shift or be fully vaccinated. The Canadian federal government announced in August its intention to mandate vaccination for federally-regulated workers; once specific details are known, Porter’s policy may evolve.

Bookings made on or before September 30, will be eligible to change or cancel with no fees. Passengers also have the option to book a flight with the Full Refund Option for $40 plus taxes. The Refund Option entitles customers to receive a refund, including base fare, taxes and fees, for their booking upon advance cancellation of their flight for any reason.
