"Unfortunately, the layers of travel restrictions are serving to keep most people at home and show no signs of easing," Porter president and CEO Michael Deluce said.

Porter chief executive Michael Deluce says the ability to successfully relaunch service is directly tied to the lifting of travel restrictions.

The airline attributed the decision to the extended ban on non-essential travel over the Canada-U.S. border due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Porter Airlines, based out of Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport, says the online outage that affected its systems has now been resolved as of early Thursday morning.

A spokesperson for the short-haul airline said in a statement that delays and cancellations are expected, though some flights are still operating.

Hamilton International Airport says the Porter Airlines flight needed to make an unscheduled landing on Tuesday morning.

Porter Airlines passengers stranded in Boston on Friday were told by a representative they would have to delete videos of an encounter with an agent or face arrest.

Fredericton airport officials say the recent addition of Porter airlines flights won't impact service but they are still hopeful the terminal expansion project will become a reality.

Come prepared and check the fine print.

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.
