Porter has had a very long and successful career in Eastern Canada, and we are so glad to finally be bringing the airline's western expansion to Saskatoon this summer. As the gateway to Saskatchewan's north, YXE is committed to connecting our region to the world, and with Porter's strong connections and partner airlines this new route to Toronto will allow for greater connectivity, a new air travel experience and more flight options all at a competitive fare that we know our guests are going to love."
