Porter to make Logan run five a day
Porter Airlines is expanding its schedule to offer five daily roundtrip flights between Boston Logan and Billy Bishop Toronto City airports, from 31 March, adding one roundtrip each weekday in the afternoon, as well as a further roundtrip on Sunday.
“Boston continues to exceed our expectations,” reported Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “This expansion gives business travellers a more flexible schedule, which builds on the convenience of Toronto City Airport’s downtown location and Porter’s premium service model.”
Since Porter began flying to Boston on 14 September 2009, the service grown rapidly. The schedule started with three daily roundtrip flights, increased to four after two weeks and is now expanding to five. The complete Boston schedule now includes five daily roundtrip flights during the week, two roundtrip flights on Saturday and four roundtrip flights on Sunday.
Increased frequency also improves the number of available connecting flights to destinations such as Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Thunder Bay and Sudbury.
