Porter Airlines has announced a new route for people travelling between Charlottetown and Montreal.

New daily non-stop service between Charlottetown Airport and Montreal’s Metropolitan Airport will begin on June 18.

The CEO of the Charlottetown Airport Authority calls it an exciting and important addition.

“Daily service to Porter’s new Montreal Metropolitan Airport gives Islanders and visitors more choice, more flexibility, and a new gateway into the Montreal region. It strengthens our connectivity and supports both business and leisure travel to and from Prince Edward Island,” says Doug Newson.

Porter recently opened a new, modern terminal at the Montreal airport.

“Passengers travelling through Montreal Metropolitan Airport (MET) will have convenient access to the Greater Montreal area, including easy access to downtown. The modern terminal provides an efficient and welcoming passenger experience that will save travellers substantial time. It raises the bar for travel in Canada,” says Michael Deluce, CEO of Porter Airlines.

Charlottetown officials say they look forward to working with Porter on inaugural celebrations later this spring.
