Regional Canadian carrier Porter Airlines has formed a partnership with Pascan Aviation to provide flights across Eastern Canada. Currently, Porter-Pascan connections can be made through Halifax and Québec City.

Pascan Aviation operates a fleet of SAAB 340B aircraft in Québec and the Maritimes, and the aim is to combine Pascan’s route portfolio with Porter’s North American links. Passengers will be able to book cross-continental and Eastern Canadian routes such as Vancouver to Sydney, NS, Orlando to Saint John, NB, Sault Ste. Marie, ON to Bonaventure, QC, and Gaspe, QC to Timmins, ON.

“Porter’s new partnership with Pascan means improved service and more choices for passengers across North America who travel through regional Eastern Canada,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “The upcoming opening of the new terminal at Montréal Metropolitan Airport, which Porter and Pascan will both operate flights from, will further grow this partnership and provide opportunities for travellers to connect seamlessly across the continent.”

“This partnership along with the opening of the new terminal is truly amazing.  We have been waiting for this kind of project here at the Montréal Metropolitan Airport since 2004,” commented Yani Gagnon, co-owner at Pascan Aviation. “This will open up a whole new range of opportunities that will greatly benefit our mutual clientele.”
