# Fly with Porter Airlines

Porter Airlines is a regional airline whose head office is based at Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto, Canada. It is owned by Porter Aviation Holdings, formerly known as REGCO Holdings Inc. Porter operates routinely between Toronto and other locations in Canada and the United States using Canadian-built Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft in a regular schedule. It runs a fleet of 29 turboprops.

The airline connects 15 domestic cities in Canada and the other nine cities in the US. It has an interline agreement with seven other carriers, including JetBlue, Icelandair, Qatar Airways, and many others. You can, therefore, count on the flight provider to jumpstart your international journey, then shift to a secondary flight provider along the way to reach cities that the company does not cover. According to the terms of the agreement, only one interline ticket gets you covered for the whole journey.

Porter’s fleet of 26 aircraft consists of 18 Bombardier Dash and 8 Q400 NextGen planes. All the aircraft are exclusively for short-haul journeys.
