Toronto travellers will soon be able to fly a new direct route to one of the hottest U.S. cities, starting this fall. 

In October, Canadian carrier Porter Airlines will be launching its first-ever non-stop service between Toronto and Phoenix, Arizona, a city known for its year-round sun, urban desert landscapes, sweltering climate, and world-class resorts. 

Once in service, Porter will become the eighth international carrier to serve Phoenix and the fourth Canadian airline, giving travellers from Arizona increased connectivity to destinations like Montreal, Ottawa, and Halifax. 

Round-trip daily service will begin on Oct. 3 from Toronto Pearson Airport, with Arizona-bound flights departing at 10:30 a.m. local time and arriving at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at 12:01 p.m.
