Porter Airlines announced on Tuesday that it will expand its service to Hamilton, with four new routes launching in the summer.
Starting this June, John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) will offer daily flights to Calgary (YYC), Edmonton (YEG), Halifax (YHZ), and Vancouver (YVR), alongside a series of terminal upgrades.
“The Porter experience is something that travellers in Hamilton have never seen before,” said Michael Deluce, CEO of Porter Airlines.
“Our team takes great pride in delivering amenities that make flying something to look forward to, doing so with an emphasis on care and service. Hamiltonians and their neighbours have long deserved a commitment such as what Porter is making, with four routes connecting them across the country.”
Round trips from Hamilton to Halifax and Hamilton to Vancouver will launch on June 3, while round trips from Hamilton to Calgary and Hamilton to Edmonton will be available on June 11.
All routes will be operated with the new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2.
“I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Porter Airlines to Hamilton’s John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport and to see Vantage Group’s continued investment to enhance passenger facilities,” said Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath.
“This is a major win for the City of Hamilton and will significantly transform our airport’s passenger service offerings. For years, the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport has been home to Canada’s largest domestic overnight express cargo service, fueling our community’s economic growth and creating jobs.”
