Quoting ItalianFlyer (Reply 7): I have a feeling it's Porter...but what about the possibility of Canadian North/FirstAir sending a combie from YOW? I'm not so sure about south bound freight but I'm sure they could fill 2 pallets north bound. |
Quoting krsw757 (Reply 6): Maybe a charter operation using Elite? |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 9): I'd be more surprised if it wasn't Elite. |
Quoting spinkid (Reply 3): From the article "The carrier doesn't currently service the state, and Melbourne International would be its gateway into Florida. The carrier is proposing, initially, non-stop, weekly international service from — an unknown destination — on a 70-seat aircraft. The arrangement is seasonal for now but could grow more frequent, and with larger aircraft, as the flights mature at Melbourne International." |
Quoting KirkSeattle (Reply 10): The article said it would be an international airline and it would be their first entry into the state of Florida. |
Quoting mcoflyer (Reply 12): |
Quoting IMissPiedmont (Reply 13): Horizon runs PDX-TUS with the DHC-8 and that is nearly 1200 miles so it is quite within range |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 14): |
Quoting mcoflyer (Reply 12): If its Porter, you'd think they would've picked MCO over MLB. |
Quoting IMissPiedmont (Reply 15): Interesting, I wasn't aware they stopped that service. It seems like just two or three weeks ago I saw a -8 operating the service. But, it may have been months. |
Quoting flyoregon (Reply 17): |
Quoting 727LOVER (Reply 16): Why? Competing with faster jets from Air Canada & WestJet? |
Quoting JoePatroni (Reply 20): It could be Sky Regional dba Air Canada Express on the E175. They don't fly to Florida yet. |
Quoting mcoflyer (Reply 19): I think theres no market in MLB for Porter though I have a feeling its them. We shall see. |
Quoting IMissPiedmont (Reply 18): Good grief, nobody believes anything. |
Quoting Mexicana757 (Reply 27): Flights start December 19, 2015. PD 715 YTZ 9:35AM- 12:45PM MLBPD 716 MLB 1:35PM- 4:45PM YTZ |

Quoting flyoregon (Reply 28): That will be a long, long flight on a Q400 |
Quoting jetset (Reply 34): Sold as YTZ-MLB non-stop, but most likely will operate YTZ-YHM-MLB. Numbers just don't add up to be able to operate from a 4000FT runway with 75 Pax. My guess they will hop over to YHM for a quick gas and go. Jetset |
Quoting Viscount724 (Reply 33): Only 25 minutes longer than AC and WS jets YYZ-MCO which is almost the same distance. YTZ-MLB 932 nm YYZ-MCO 917nm Personally I would rather spend the extra 25 minutes with no risk of a middle seat and free beer/wine/snacks on Porter. |
Quoting MavyWavyATR (Reply 39): To be honest, they should've waited for their CS100's to come online before doing these types of hauls; as they can do YTZ-MLB more efficiently on the basis of CASM and payload. |
Quoting rikkus67 (Reply 44): “We constantly get asked to serve Florida. We can start doing it to a limited degree with this route and meet some of this demand now,” |
Quoting ItalianFlyer (Reply 7): I have a feeling it's Porter...but what about the possibility of Canadian North/FirstAir sending a combie from YOW? I'm not so sure about south bound freight but I'm sure they could fill 2 pallets north bound. |
Quoting OB1504 (Reply 46): I was under the impression that Canadian North wasn't coming back next year. |
Quoting enilria (Reply 29): It's blocked at 20 mins more than an A319 from YYZ to MCO AND it's 16 miles further. I don't believe it. |
