Change is in the Air at Porter
Six years ago, Porter took off for the first time. Now, the airline would like to add new destinations to its network starting in 2016, including Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, California, Florida and the Caribbean. To do this, it is planning to add brand new planes to its fleet – the Canadian-built Bombardier CS100, the world’s quietest commercial jet in production, comparable to current planes. Find out more about Porter's plans for change at www.porterplans.com.
