March 1 - Porter Airlines is deferring its resumption of flights until May 19 due to ongoing COVID-19 travel restrictions.

 

Porter Airlines want to see their planes in the sky as soon as possible and are actively working to prepare for their resumption of service. However, the ongoing uncertainty presented by government travel restrictions, including border closures, is impacting their ability to operate flights. Porter is closely watching developments and know that Porter will be an important part of providing people with travel options as the economy recovers.

 

Porter is preparing to introduce enhanced health and safety measures for its return to service. Details of these initiatives will be announced closer to when flights restart, so that plans are as closely aligned with the latest public health recommendations as possible.

 

To provide flexibility and give travellers peace of mind when purchasing for future travel, Porter is waiving change and cancellation fees on all fares booked between today and May 19. This also applies to Porter Escapes vacation packages.
