Porter Airlines is hoping to be flying again in the new year.
The company says it’s delaying until Thursday, February 11th, due to rising COVID-19 cases and its impact on customer demand.
The company president adds deferring service until then is not something it anticipated doing when the pandemic began earlier this year, and the cumulative effects of COVID-19 have suffocated any plans to resume service in 2020.
Porter hopes this will give more time to develop rapid testing solutions as a way to lift government-imposed restrictions on travel.
The airline grounded planes in March at the onset of the pandemic.
