Porter Airlines says its flights have resumed service, just over two hours after the Toronto-based airline announced that service was suspended due to a widespread system outage.
A spokesperson told Global News that five flights were cancelled as a result, affecting 400 passengers.
All affected passengers will be given the option of traveling today if they so choose, or can travel tomorrow or get a full refund.
