Giving businesses another option to bring in clients at a cheaper cost; that’s how Jake LaCourse describes the benefits of Porter Airlines coming into North Bay. The first flight from North Bay took off earlier this week and the Chamber of Commerce says this will help both North Bay and the other northern municipalities.

He says “with all these different regional flights we are really connected now so I’m excited about Porter being here.”

LaCourse adds its also a more cost effective option to attract people from a tourism perspective.
