- Porter Airlines, the airline analysed this week, expanded its network to the United States out of its Toronto City (YTZ) base. As of 16 April, the airline operates its Q400s 18 times weekly to Washington Dulles, DC (IAD). Indirect competition at Toronto Pearson comes from United’s 39 weekly flights as well as Air Canada’s 35 flights a week between Toronto Pearson and Washington National. Jack Potter, President and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said: “Toronto is one of the largest international markets for the Washington region so we are very pleased to welcome Porter Airlines and this new Toronto connection to the nation’s capital just in time for the busy international travel season.”
