About PP
PP is a regional carrier operating entirely within Canada, which tells you pretty much everything about what it's built for. With 14 non-stop routes spread across 6 airports and a total network spanning just under 5,000 km, this isn't an airline trying to take on the world — it's connecting communities that bigger carriers tend to ignore. Montreal's YUL anchors the operation as the main hub, but PP also runs meaningful service out of smaller centres like Rouyn (YUY) and Gatineau (YND). Think short hops, practical routing, and the kind of flying that keeps Quebec's regions actually connected.
Why fly PP?
Honestly, the main reason you'd book PP is access. If you're trying to get from Quebec City (YQB) to Rouyn-Noranda (YUY) — that 581 km route is PP's longest, which gives you a sense of the scale we're talking about — your alternatives are slim. Driving that stretch through Quebec in February isn't a romantic proposition. PP fills gaps that Air Canada and WestJet simply don't bother with, which makes it genuinely useful rather than just another option. For remote workers or anyone with family spread across Quebec's smaller cities, this network does real work. It's not glamorous flying, but it doesn't need to be.

Tips for booking PP
First thing to know: PP operates in a regional context, so don't expect the same booking infrastructure as a major carrier. Check directly through the airline's own channels rather than relying on third-party aggregators, which sometimes miss regional schedules entirely. YUL connections can open up onward routing if you're coming from elsewhere in Canada, so it's worth building PP into a multi-leg itinerary rather than treating it as a standalone. Baggage allowances on short regional routes can be stricter than you'd expect, so confirm before you show up with an overpacked bag. Pack flexibility into your schedule too — small carriers on thin routes feel weather delays more than the big guys.
