Porter restarts service after 18-month shutdown
Canadian regional carrier Porter Airlines restarted flights on 8 September after an 18-month coronavirus-driven pause. The Toronto-based carrier has relaunched service at the city’s secondary airport, Toronto City Billy Bishop, and at Montreal, Ottawa and Thunder Bay, Ontario. In the next 10 days, Porter will add further domestic destinations, with flights to the USA to begin on 17 September, it says on 8 September. “Our passengers and team members have been waiting for this day to arrive,” says CE Michael Deluce. “We currently have over 900 team members who have put in countless hours to get everything ready for our return to service, with more being recalled or hired every week.” Porter shut down operations on 20 March 2020, as the coronavirus crisis was beginning to make itself felt across the world. <br/>
