Porter Airlines, one of Canada’s newest carriers, is further expanding its north American destination network. The airline is an ambitious one and has invested heavily in brand new state of the art planes to help maximise profitability on routes. The latest addition to the Porter Airline’s network is the Toronto Pearson to Victoria BC flight number PD442. So let’s find out what the Porter Airlines Toronto to Victoria flight has to offer and its schedule.
A Stronger Presence at Toronto Pearson Airport
The new Toronto to Victoria flight increases the presence of the carrier at Canada‘s largest international airport. The airline isn’t only focusing on main large hubs, as is Toronto Pearson, due to costs and slot availability as is demonstrated by its strong presence at Toronto Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ).
However having a presence at larger airports as YYZ is strategic, even for an airline like Porter. The sheer number of passengers transiting through the airport creates opportunity carriers and it can’t be overlooked. Therefore Porter is also looking to open and launch new long range domestic routes such as the Toronto to Victoria flight PD441.
Porter Flight PD442 Schedule and Operations
Albeit a domestic flight, this is not exactly a short hop. Flight PD441 from Toronto to Victoria covers a total route of 3,370km, with a total flight time of 5 hours 9 minutes. The outbound flight from Toronto to Victoria will operate in the morning while the return flight will be an afternoon flight. The first flight took off on September 20th 2023.

The scheduling of flight PD441 is so structured so that the airline can offer connecting flight options to passengers in Toronto.
Last but not least flight PD441 from Toronto to Victoria is from day 1 a daily service, granting great travel flexibility to passengers.
The Plane For the New Porter Airlines Flight PD441 from Toronto to Victoria
Porter operates a 2 aircraft fleet. For its short hops if uses the small nimble turboprop DHC Dash 8-400. However for its longer routes, such as PD441 from Toronto to Victoria, it uses the state of the art Brazilian made Embraer E195-E2.
These planes are among the quietest on the market and have one of the smaller CO2 footprints out there. The plane is configured in a 1 class cabin seating up to 132 passengers in a 2-2 layout. However the first 4 rows of the Porter E195-E2 have a slightly wider pitch with extra leg room.
Also available on the plane is complimentary onboard Wi-Fi for all passengers along with in flight entertainment to get those hours passing a little faster.
