After operating for a decade and a half out of Toronto Billy Bishop City Airport with a fleet of Dash 8 Q400 turboprops, Porter placed an order for 30 Embraer E195-E2 jets in 2021. As jet aircraft are not permitted at Toronto’s smaller airport, this move also meant that Porter was expanding to Toronto Pearson International Airport.
