    Porter Airlines has launched a new nonstop route, connecting Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF). Tammy Priddle is the president and chief executive officer, Deer Lake Regional Airport Authority. She says this will boost travel and tourism. Priddle says this new service  started last night and two-by-two configuration means there are no middle seats on any Porter flight. Passengers will enjoy Porter’s signature elevated economy experience with free, fast streaming WiFi, complimentary beer and wine, and premium Canadian snacks. These new Toronto routes will operate seasonally, ending in early-September after the peak summer season.
