Porter Airlines has expanded its service to New York City by launching year-round flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
The new route marks an extension of Porter’s presence in the New York Metropolitan Area, where it has operated flights between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) since 2008.
Porter will operate up to three daily roundtrip flights between Toronto Pearson and LaGuardia’s newly renovated Terminal B.

“New York is an essential market for Porter, and this new service to LaGuardia complements our long-standing operation at Newark,” said Andrew Pierce, vice president of network planning and reporting at Porter Airlines.
“By expanding access to a second major New York-area airport, we’re offering more convenience and increasing capacity for travellers. The combination of Billy Bishop, Pearson, LaGuardia and Newark is unique among airlines, providing a number of options for going back and forth between the two cities.”
