Porter Airlines Receives Two More Bombardier Q400 NextGen Aircraft

Porter Airlines accepted two new Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft today, bringing the company’s fleet to 26. Porter, one of the world’s largest operators of Q400 aircraft, placed the $61 million US order for the two aircraft in March 2011.

Porter operates a fleet comprised exclusively of 70-seat Q400 aircraft, which is one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class, burning less fuel per seat than most regional and narrow-body jets. With leather seating, extended legroom and a 667 km/h cruising speed, the Q400 aircraft sets new standards for comfort, fuel efficiency and low emissions.
