WATCH: Michael Deluce, Porter Airlines CEO with John Kirk on Montreal Metropolitan Airport

by John Kirk  March 25, 2026

“The best first year you could possibly have,” Porter Airlines CEO Michael Deluce emphatically tells Travel Market Report Canada’s EIC John Kirk when asked about the company’s expansion into the Caribbean last year.

It was part of an interview from the opening of a brand new terminal at the MET-Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU), where the airline will be launching 12 nonstop routes across Canada starting June 15.

Deluce and Kirk discuss Porter’s expansion, what the new service from YHU will mean for travellers across Quebec and into Eastern Canada and what’s ahead for the airline.
