Porter Airlines is expanding its service between Thunder Bay and Pearson Airport for the summer.

“Our goal is to fly where our customers want to travel, and this is a moment Canada is at the top of many people’s list,” said President Kevin Jackson. “We are adding routes and increasing flights in regions across the country to meet this demand.”

The expansion will increase the route from three weekly trips to seven.

Porter initially launched the route in December.

The airline also operates between Thunder Bay and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

No information was provided as to when the summer schedule will begin operation.
