Airline launches new routes from major airport in Ontario [Video]

Porter Airlines is launching two new routes from a major airport in Ontario on Wednesday.

The airline is beginning non-stop service from Hamilton to Calgary and Edmonton.

Just last week, Porter also began operating direct flights between John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport and Vancouver, as well as Halifax.

“With flights now serving four key domestic destinations, Porter’s growing Hamilton presence provides a new range of travel possibilities across the Golden Horseshoe,” the airline said in a news release.

Ed Ratuski, the executive managing director of the Hamilton airport, said that the new routes are “opening the door to greater commerce and tourism opportunities.”

Ratuski said the launch of the Vancouver and Halifax routes last week was “very successful.”
