Fast-growing Porter Airlines<\/a> is expanding its footprint on the U.S. West Coast.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Toronto-based carrier announced it would add new nonstop flights from Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) in Canada to California’s two largest cities.<\/p>\n

Starting in late June, Porter will offer seasonal service between Montreal and both Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).<\/p>\n

The announcement comes less than two months after the carrier first commenced service to both West Coast cities from Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ).<\/p>\n

It’s also part of a larger growth strategy that has seen the airline dramatically increase its U.S. presence of late.<\/p>\n

“These Montreal routes connect to destinations across the globe with Porter’s strategic partners, providing more options that travelers crave,” Porter president Kevin Jackson said in a statement announcing the news.<\/p>\n

Porter will operate each of these routes with its brand-new Embraer E195-E2 jets, which seat 132 passengers in a 2-2 configuration.<\/p>\n

The airline placed a $5.82 billion order for 80 of the jets<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n

The airline touts its inflight service, which includes free alcoholic beverages in glassware (not plastic or paper cups) for all passengers. It also offers free Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

Larger growth plans<\/h2>\n

This West Coast scale-up is the latest in a series of steps Porter has taken to increase its presence in the U.S. \u2014 particularly out west.<\/p>\n

On top of the two Toronto-to-California nonstops launched in January, the carrier also launched inaugural service earlier this month from Toronto to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

All told, the carrier will fly nearly 70% more seats to the U.S. over the next six months versus the same period last year, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium.<\/p>\n

The airline also notes these new routes will improve its connectivity. That’s thanks, in part, to a recently launched interline agreement with Alaska Airlines<\/a>. The arrangement allows passengers to book trips with seamless connections between the two carriers (for certain itineraries). It also allows Mileage Plan<\/a> members to earn miles on certain Porter flights.<\/p>\n
