Air Canada offers service to Toronto from June 17

 Air Canada  said recently it will begin offering daily direct service between Portland and Toronto starting June 17.

The daily service will be year-round on an Air Canada E90 to shuttle passengers between Portland International Airport and Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport.

The move is part of the Montreal-based air carrier’s effort to strengthen both its Toronto hub and the company’s position as the carrier with the most daily flights between U.S. and Canada.

The Portland flight is one of seven American cities to receive new direct flights to Toronto. The others are Santa Ana and San Diego in California; Memphis; Cincinnati; Portland, Maine; and Syracuse, N.Y.
