Porter Airlines announced Thursday that they will soon be offering flights to Saskatchewan for the first time, which expands their service to all 10 provinces.
Flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Saskatoon International Airport (YXE) serve as a significant step in expanding the airline’s transcontinental network.
“We are proud to connect Saskatoon and the province of Saskatchewan to Porter’s network for the first time in our history. It solidifies our commitment to bringing the level of connectivity, service and generosity that travellers deserve across the country,” Kevin Jackson, president of Porter Airlines, said in a release.

Beginning on May 16, 2024, the new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft will take daily trips from Toronto to Saskatoon at 2:30 p.m. EST with an arrival time of 4:04 p.m. CST and another trip from Saskatoon at 4:55 p.m. CST which arrives back in Toronto at 10:09 p.m EST.
This new route is also connected to destinations in Eastern Canada out of Toronto Pearson Airport, including Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, and St. Johns.
“We’re pleased to see Porter add service on the route and increase connectivity both to passengers looking to travel to the prairies, but also those looking to fly from central Canada through Toronto and to the east coast,” said Kurush Minocher, Executive Director of Customer Experience and Airline Relations at Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
While on a Porter Airlines flight, passengers are seated in two-by-two configuration with no middle seats. They can enjoy Porter’s free, fast WiFi, premium snacks, and complimentary beer and wine served in real glassware onboard.
Priority check-in, seats with extra legroom, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are made available with the all-inclusive PorterReserve fares or purchased à la carte with PorterClassic fares.
