Porter Expands Halifax Maintenance Operations

Porter Airlines announced the lease of a 20,000-square-foot hangar at Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ). 

The newly acquired facility will serve as a dedicated maintenance hub for Porter’s Embraer E195-E2 and De Havilland Dash 8-400 fleets.

The addition of this space is expected to enhance service standards and reliability while creating new employment opportunities for the local aviation community, including Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) and material handlers.

“Porter is making strategic investments to support our continued growth and provide the best service to our customers,” said Kent Woodside, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Porter Airlines.

“Halifax is an important part of our network, and this hangar provides a dedicated location to maintain our fleet, while creating rewarding careers within the community.”

The Halifax facility will complement Porter’s existing maintenance network. The airline operates 30 daily flights on seven routes this summer, connecting Halifax to destinations across North America.
