Palm Beach International Airport Welcomes Porter Airlines’ New Nonstop Service from Toronto

Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) welcomed Porter Airlines' inaugural nonstop service from Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to PBI on Nov. 14.

"The new service will strengthen our connection to one of North America's most vibrant cities, enhancing travel convenience and options for our passengers. We look forward to a successful partnership with Porter Airlines as we continue to expand our international offerings and provide even greater accessibility to South Florida," said Palm Beach County Director of Airports Laura Beebe.

Nonstop, daily service gives passengers traveling between The Palm Beaches and Toronto the opportunity to experience Porter's award-winning elevated economy experience. Operated with the Embraer E195-E2, this 132-seat aircraft features a two-by-two seating configuration, which means no middle seats for any passenger.

"Florida has quickly grown to be one of Porter's most popular U.S. markets. Passengers appreciate having more options when planning their winter getaways, and the elevated onboard experience means their vacation begins the moment they step onboard. The Palm Beaches is a great addition to our route map," said Porter Airlines President Kevin Jackson.

Porter offers a level of genuine onboard hospitality for economy passengers that is unmatched in the skies of North America, with free premium snacks, free, fast Wi-Fi and complimentary beer and wine served in glassware for everyone onboard.

PorterReserve fares provide an all-inclusive economy experience, with fresh, healthy meals, premium cocktails, dedicated airport check-in, ticketing flexibility, early boarding and more legroom.
