    Interesting. Does this mean a move to Pearson…considering jets aren’t allowed on the island? Guess we’ll see.

      Most likely a split operation like Air Canada (they are/were using one gate at YTZ)

    It’s a little bit sad that Porter didn’t buy the Airbus which is completely made in Canada. By completely I mean aircraft and engines. The Embraer has engines made in Canada at the Pratt & Whitney Canada Mirabel QC site.
    The Embraer uses the same engine model with a different power settings as the Airbus’s.

    As Mitch mentioned, you may want to update the article title. “Takes Delivery of” implies that they have received the jets off the production line, where all they’ve done is announced their order.

    Orders =/= takes delivery of.
    Mildly clickbait for a typically well informed site.

      Thank you for the remark. We fixed the mistake.

    This is GREAT news that has nothing to do with any form of loyalty program and the value of its miles, but the much-needed competition for Air Canada, and hopefully puts a wee bit of a dampener on the dynamic pricing that is threatening to drive redemptions skyward to many of the destinations Porter will travels to. Nicely written as well by the way.
