Porter Airlines confirmed that it carried passenger number 10 million in its history on Friday, Nov. 8.
“This is a nice milestone for us to recognize after just having celebrated seven years of service in October,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “New passengers are trying Porter every day and our entire team is grateful for each of the 10 million trips people have chosen to fly with us.”
In 2007, Porter’s first full calendar year of business, 300,000 people travelled with the airline. A record of 2.5 million passengers flew in 2012.
“Our growth shows that travellers are extremely satisfied with the distinct service they experience with Porter,” added Deluce.
Porter now operates a fleet of 26 Bombardier Q400 aircraft and serves 19 regional destinations in Eastern Canada and the United States. A proposal to grow service across North America starting in 2016 is currently being reviewed.
