Porter Airlines Inaugurates Nonstop Montréal-Newark Service
New route is the airline’s fourth nonstop service to New York area
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Porter Airlines is expanding its New York network with the inauguration of non-stop service between Montréal Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) on June
Up to two daily roundtrip flights are operated on Porter’s 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft, meaning no middle seats for all passengers. Daily flights will now operate year-round based on strong demand seen for the summer schedule. This is the third nonstop route to Newark offered by the airline, joining Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and Ottawa (YOW). Porter recently launched a fourth route to the New York area with daily nonstop Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to LaGuardia service.

Passengers will enjoy Porter’s signature elevated economy experience, featuring complimentary beer and wine, and premium Canadian-made snacks. Added benefits such as enhanced legroom, priority boarding, checked baggage, and dedicated check-in are available à la carte through the PorterClassic fare or all-inclusive in PorterReserve.
The route expands Porter’s presence in the New York metropolitan area, joining the airline’s existing Newark services and recently-launched Toronto Pearson - LaGuardia route. Connections via Montréal give passengers easy access to Porter’s coast-to-coast domestic network, including Halifax, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Passengers can explore Europe through our partner Air Transat’s network via Montréal.
