Canada’s Porter Airlines has once again delayed resuming flights, and is now targeting a date more than one year after it shut down due to the global coronavirus crisis.
The regional carrier, based in Toronto, has repeatedly pushed back its restart after halting operations on 21 March 2020. It now says that it will once again begin flying on 29 March. The new delay raises questions in the industry as to whether the airline will come back at all.
