Porter Airlines took delivery of its first five Embraer E195C-2 in late Dec. 2022 and flew them to Toronto for the launch of its first ever scheduled jet service, with routes launched to Ottawa and Montreal, and then Vancouver on Feb. 7th. Porter began operations on Oct. 23, 2006 from CYTZ with DHC Dash 8-400s with 29 acquired by 2017. Porter sought approval to operate CS100 jets jets from YTZ in 2013, but it did not receive government approval. Porter shut down for 18 months during Covid-19, but ordered 30 new E195-C2s in July 2021 and 20 more in July 2022 for a major expansion program. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
