A Porter Airlines plane lands next to a taxiing plane at Toronto's Island Airport on Friday, November 13, 2015. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris YoungTORONTO -- Porter Airlines says it will not resume its flight service until July 29, two months later than originally scheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We want to see our planes in the sky as soon as possible and are actively working to prepare for our resumption of service. However, the ongoing uncertainty presented by government travel restrictions, including border closures, is impacting our ability to operate flights," Michael Deluce, the president and CEO of Porter Airlines said in a news release Tuesday.
The airline says that seasonal summer markets that it intended to serve in 2020 are being cancelled as part of the service deferral, including flights to Muskoka, Ont., and Stephenville, N.L.
