Porter continues its U.S. expansion with new nonstop service between Toronto-Pearson and Harry Reid International Airport: Las Vegas will be the airline’s 11th U.S. destination.
Porter’s new service will add 1,848 seats per week to the Toronto-Las Vegas segment, and the airline will compete in this market with Air Canada, Canada JetLines and Flair Airlines. According to U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) data, Toronto is Harry Reid International Airport’s second largest international destination in terms of passengers moved.
“It takes something exceptional to stand out in Las Vegas, and we intend to do just that by bringing our elevated economy experience to this popular destination. From the runway to the Strip, passengers begin their special getaway the moment they board our aircraft,” Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines.
