Looks like their flights have now started.

What makes this a game changer for Saskatoon is Porter has interline/codeshare agreements with AirTransat. That provides solid competition for Air Canada between Saskatoon and Europe.

I have to disagree here. The Porter flight departs YXE at 5pm…
Making it an arrival into YYZ at 10pm. MCT in YYZ is likely an hour so you have missed a large portion of the AT flights departing the same day.

Yes, your right. Rome, Zagreb are the only two that work roundtrip. Faro and Lamezia Terme work outbound but not coming back to Canada. Hopefully that changes over time.

The only way that would change is if Porter adds an early morning flight to TO, which may occur if loads are strong enough.
