TORONTO – Daily non-stop service between Timmins, Ont., and North Bay begins today with Porter Airlines.

There is continuing service from North Bay to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, supplementing existing non-stop Timmins-Toronto City flights. 

“These routes introduce competition and provide lower fares for travellers in the region,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “The North Bay-Timmins route is the first direct flight among our Northern Ontario markets.”  

Air travel between Timmins and North Bay is now more affordable than ever, with introductory round-trip fares of $151. Book by October 14, and travel by February 11, 2016, to have access to these fares based on availability per flight. Bookings can be made at www.flyporter.com. 

“With Porter Airlines now servicing our city, it brings us even closer to major centres around the world. Porter Airlines will give our businesses and industries further opportunities in the global economy and it will provide our citizens with competitive travel prices. This transportation infrastructure is critical in further building our city,” stated Mayor Al McDonald. “We appreciate and thank Bob Deluce and his team for their confidence and investment in our city.”

The once-daily 45-minute North Bay-Timmins flight is operated with a 74-seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft.

Porter offers a premium passenger experience with leather seats and complimentary wine and beer onboard.

Those flying to Toronto will benefit from landing in the heart of downtown at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

The airport’s convenient Toronto Islands location now includes access to the recently-opened pedestrian tunnel.
