Additional TPA airline to add daily flight to Canadian city

Porter Airlines will begin daily nonstop service to Toronto on Nov. 1, Tampa International Airport officials state in a Thursday news release.

The carrier, which bills itself as low-cost, is launching jet service to the United States with its new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, including a new daily roundtrip flight between Tampa and Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Porter Airlines is now the 22nd scheduled passenger carrier currently flying to Tampa airport and the fourth to offer nonstop service to Canada, airport officials say.
