Porter Airlines Canada (PD) launches Toronto (YYZ) - Quebec (YQB) route

Porter Airlines Canada has officially inaugurated nonstop round-trip service between Toronto and Quebec, adding a meaningful new link to its domestic network. The new route not only expands travel options between two of Eastern Canada’s key economic and cultural centres, but also provides fresh momentum for business travel, visiting friends and relatives, and short leisure breaks.

The launch carries clear strategic significance, linking Canada’s largest financial hub with the distinctly Francophone capital of Quebec province. The nonstop service shortens journey times and enhances convenience for passengers travelling between Toronto’s dynamic business environment and Quebec’s unique blend of history, government and tourism appeal. As it competes with Air Canada on this city pair, Porter Airlines Canada continues to broaden its footprint in priority markets and strengthen domestic connectivity through its differentiated service model.

The route is operated several times weekly with the Embraer E195-E2, a new-generation jet noted for fuel efficiency and a modern passenger cabin. From early June, the schedule will be maintained on a steady basis, reinforcing capacity for the peak summer travel season.

Toronto is the economic heartbeat of Canada, where modern financial districts meet a richly diverse cultural scene, theatres, museums and global cuisine. From the city, travellers can also easily reach nearby Niagara Falls, one of North America’s most iconic natural landmarks. Toronto additionally serves as an ideal gateway for deeper connections across domestic and transcontinental networks.

Quebec captivates visitors with a rare sense of old-world charm in North America, expressed through its cobbled streets, historic architecture and strong Francophone character. Its brightest highlight is Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the few fortified cities on the continent to remain preserved. This depth of history, refined way of life and the scenery along the Saint Lawrence River make Quebec an inspiring year-round destination.
