Porter Airlines is launching its daily, roundtrip service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers.
“Canadians love Florida and they deserve to enjoy their travels the moment they get on the plane," said Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. "With Porter, every passenger receives the same level of hospitality and elevated service - travellers will notice the difference when they fly with us. It’s a pleasure to bring our elevated economy experience to southwest Florida.”
Porter Airlines has a well-earned reputation for providing exceptional service, and the addition of Fort Myers to its list of destinations is part of Porter’s North American expansion plan. Flights between Toronto Pearson and Fort Myers are operated by the state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. The 132-seat, all-economy aircraft has a two-by-two configuration, which makes Porter the only carrier that can promise passengers no middle seats.
“We want to extend Porter Airlines a warm welcome from Southwest Florida International Airport," said said Ben Siegel, CPA, C.M., executive director of the Lee County Port Authority. "Today, Porter inaugurates its first nonstop flight into Fort Myers from Toronto, Canada (YYZ), a popular destination for residents and visitors coming to Southwest Florida. This daily service will be a great new option for travellers to enjoy.”
Fort Myers is one of the new non-stop routes Porter introduced this year to serve the growing number of Canadians eager to travel south. Other routes in Florida include Toronto-Pearson (YYZ) to Tampa (TPA), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Miami (MIA), and Ottawa (YOW) to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
