Porter Airlines and Alaska Airlines have announced a partnership that takes advantage of Porter’s presence within Eastern Canada and Alaska’s strong network in the Western US.
As of December 13, 2023, the partnership is live, allowing travellers to book combined Porter–Alaska itineraries.
New Porter Airlines and Alaska Airlines Partnership
Porter Airlines and Alaska Airlines have aligned in a new partnership connecting the east and west sides of Canada and the US, providing more flight options and service from coast-to-coast.
Porter Airlines, headquartered in Toronto, flies to 32 destinations and is focused on Eastern Canada. The airline offers an elevated economy class experience by offering free snacks and free wine and beer on all their flights, and due to their fleet’s 2-2 seating configuration, passengers can enjoy increased comfort on their flight since there’s no middle seat.
Alaska Airlines, despite its name, has its headquarters in SeaTac, Washington (within the Seattle metropolitan area).
The airline’s network is based primarily on the West Coast of the US, and, with their regional partners, they fly to over 120 destinations across the US, Canada, Belize, Costa Rica, Mexico, the Bahamas, and Guatemala.

Travellers can also connect to 18 western US airports, including Portland, San Diego, Seattle, and Phoenix.
In early 2024, we can expect to see more connecting flights come online. In particular, travellers will be able to take advantage of connections through the two airlines’ shared Canadian airports in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna.
