Canada’s Porter Airlines announced the launch of new daily, roundtrip service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Tampa (TPA) in Florida. New Porter Airlines’ flight is the first US route operated by any airline with the Embraer E195-E2.
Porter Airlines is the North American launch customer for Embraer’s newest family of E2 jets. The 132-seat, all-economy aircraft has a two-by-two configuration, which means no middle seat on any Porter flight.
The E2 is the most environmentally-friendly single-aisle aircraft family, measured by sound and CO2 emissions. It is certified to the strictest international standard for aircraft noise, at 65% quieter than previous generation types.
Tampa is the first of five destinations and seven routes that Porter is starting across Florida this fall. Service includes Toronto Pearson to Tampa, Fort Myers (RSW), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Miami (MIA); as well as Ottawa International Airport (YOW) to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.
