Travelers could be flying on Porter Airlines in July.

The company announced updated plans Monday to restart air travel on Tuesday July 20 after originally aiming to come back on Monday June 21.

President and CEO Michael Deluce said he’s encouraged by the U.S. airline industry’s recovery, and hopes to welcome back passengers as more of us get vaccinated.

Porter grounded its flights in March 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
