Porter Airlines has announced it will expand its footprint in the Greater New York area with the launch of a new year-round service to LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Commencing on May 1, 2025, the Canadian carrier will operate up to three daily roundtrip flights from Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to the New York airport located to the east of Manhattan Island.

With the addition of the new services, all of Porter’s flights will use LaGuardia’s newest facilities at Terminal B, which has recently undergone a $5.1 billion redevelopment program. The route will be operated by Porter’s 43-strong fleet of 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 regional jets which offer a passenger-friendly 2-2 configuration and free unlimited internet access for all onboard.

The initial flight schedule published by Porter shows the outbound flights departing Toronto at 07:15, 14:50, and 19:25 (not Saturdays), arriving in New York at 08:55, 16:30, and 21:05 respectively. The return flights will leave La Guardia at 06:15 (not Saturdays), 09:55, and 17:30 arriving back in Toronto at 07:55, 11:35, and 19:10 respectively. The route has a great circle distance of 357 miles (571km).
