Canadian Porter Airlines and Pascan Aviation join forces

Porter Airlines (P3/PTR) has announced a new strategic partnership with regional airline Pascan Aviation (P6/PSC) to enhance access to air travel across Eastern Canada.

The agreement, revealed on the 26th of March 2025, aims to expand travel options for passengers by connecting Porter’s extensive North American network with Pascan’s regional services in Québec and the Maritimes. This collaboration is designed to offer seamless connections and increase regional connectivity across Canada.

The partnership between Porter Airlines and Pascan will allow for year-round connections on cross-continental routes such as Vancouver to Sydney Nova Scotia, and Orlando to Saint John, New Brunswick. Other key routes include Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, to Bonaventure, Quebec, and Gaspe, Quebec, to Timmins, Ontario.

The primary connecting airports for interline connections will be Halifax-Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and Québec City-Jean Lesage International Airport (YBQ), with other hubs offering secondary connection options.

As part of this partnership, passengers will have access to more than 90 connecting routes, allowing for easier and more convenient travel between Pascan’s destinations in Eastern Canada and Porter’s extensive network across North America.
