Porter Airlines flying north to Sudbury

Winter 2010 |

Porter Airlines is introducing year-round flights between Sudbury and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, beginning March 31, with one daily non-stop roundtrip flight, and one-way fares starting at $99, plus taxes.
Flights are now available for booking on www.flyporter.com, by calling 1-888-619-8622 or contacting a travel agent. Porter is the only carrier offering service between these two airports.
“Porter is pleased to expand our service to Sudbury, providing competition on the route, which ultimately benefits customers by reducing fares,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines.  “Northern Ontario is an important region for us. We are experiencing great success in Thunder Bay, and are looking forward to a similar result in Sudbury.”
 “We are very excited that Porter Airlines has chosen the Greater Sudbury Airport as the newest addition to their network,” said Bob Johnston, CEO of Greater Sudbury Airport in a news release. “In a few short years, Porter has established itself as a leader in the air travel industry and a quality service provider.
While landing this service is a tremendous accomplishment for the board of directors and staff of the Greater
Sudbury Airport, the most important task of establishing a loyal passenger base is just beginning.
Manfred Herold, chair of the Sudbury Airport Community Development Corporation, says marketing initiatives to create public awareness and community support is necessary to ensure the service is sustainable.
"Porter Airlines is providing a first ever non-stop flight to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport from Greater Sudbury. To make this new service sustainable, the support from the community and surrounding area will be necessary. The board of directors is confident the community will embrace this service and is excited about the opportunity to build a long term relationship with Porter.”
The airline currently serves Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal,  Quebec City, Halifax, St. John’s, Thunder Bay, New York  (Newark), Chicago (Midway), Boston (Logan), and has  seasonal flights to Mt. Tremblant, Que. and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Visit www.flyporter.com or phone (888) 619-8622 for  more information.
