Porter Airlines is bringing significant new air service to Hamilton, with four routes launching in June. John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) will be connected coast to coast through daily flights to Calgary (YYC), Edmonton (YEG), Halifax (YHZ) and Vancouver (YVR), starting this June, coinciding with a series of airport terminal enhancements.

The airline’s distinct approach to economy air travel will be welcomed across the Hamilton region. Porter’s signature experience begins with complimentary wine and beer served in glassware, and premium snacks for every passenger. All routes will be operated with the new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2. The aircraft’s two-by-two configuration means there are no middle seats, and free, fast WiFi allows for easy online access, including the ability to stream preferred personal entertainment as if you were at home.

…’The Porter experience is something that travellers in Hamilton have never seen before,’ said Michael Deluce, CEO, Porter Airlines. ‘Our team takes great pride in delivering amenities that make flying something to look forward to, doing so with an emphasis on care and service. Hamiltonians and their neighbours have long deserved a commitment such as what Porter is making, with four routes connecting them across the country. We see significant opportunity in this market to expand our network across North America and believe that the community can support these initial flights, which will position us to consider offering additional service from Hamilton. YHM’s planned terminal investments are another benefit that will contribute to making the passenger journey seamless.’
