Porter Airlines Adds Kelowna Service from Toronto

Porter Airlines has announced a new direct service connecting Kelowna, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario.

Launching May 14, 2025, the service will roll out as five weekly flights, increasing in frequency to daily flights on June 23.

The new direct service will operate on Porter’s new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, which boats comforts such as no middle seats, complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, and free Wi-Fi.

“Porter Airlines’ decision to expand its services to Kelowna is a significant milestone for our community. This new route not only enhances connectivity between Kelowna and Toronto but also opens up new opportunities for tourism and business in the Okanagan Valley,” said Sam Samaddar, Kelowna International Airport CEO. “We are excited to welcome Porter Airlines to Kelowna and look forward to the positive impact this partnership will bring.”

With the addition of Kelowna, Porter now flies to three B.C. cities. Connecting flights with Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, and St. John’s will also be available.

“Our presence in Western Canada continues to grow and more travellers can now enjoy their trip as soon as they get onboard the aircraft with Porter’s award-winning elevated economy experience,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “Travellers will appreciate direct access to Kelowna’s mountainous landscapes and all of the beauty that the Okanagan Valley has to offer. It’s a true year-round destination that will benefit from improved connections to Eastern Canada.”
