The Saint John Airport is still keen to get a direct flight to the United States available to passengers. President Bernie LeBlanc tells CHSJ News he recently met with Porter Airlines and got a great response, but it can't happen at the moment.
He says they are not at the point of making any decisions because they do not have any aircraft available and every airline is trying to get their service.
In terms of a time frame, LeBlanc says Porter is getting new planes in December and April, so the airport will work to try and secure one of those for a US flight.
