CANADA. Porter Airlines has announced a partnership with Montréal’s Café Saint-Henri to bring high-quality, sustainably sourced coffee to its inflight food & beverage offer.
Passengers can now enjoy coffee specially crafted to maximise flavour at altitude onboard every flight across Porter’s growing North American network, served from its airport bases in Eastern Canada.
Founded in 2011, Café Saint-Henri is a pioneer of third-wave coffee in Quebec. With more than ten locations across the province, the company is well-known for its high-quality coffee products, commitment to sustainable practices, direct sourcing from coffee producers and complete transparency regarding its purchase price at origin.
In addition to its branch network, Café Saint-Henri’s products are available in over 200 retail and grocery outlets in Canada.
Café Saint-Henri Coffee Department Manager Thibaut Paggen said: “The coffee for Porter Airlines is carefully selected and roasted to enhance its taste inflight. At altitude, sensory perception changes. It was important to consider all these factors in the creation of this coffee, from selecting the beans at their origin to roasting them here in Montreal.”
Porter Airlines Vice President Corporate Development Julian Low commented: “Porter’s partnership with Café Saint-Henri offers passengers an unrivalled inflight coffee experience. This is a welcome addition to our complimentary catering menu, featuring premium Canadian partners who emulate our values.”
Café Saint-Henri Sébastien Grenache said: “It’s an honour for us to partner with Porter Airlines and introduce this special coffee to travellers. We’re confident that our dedication to quality and authenticity will resonate with Porter passengers.
“From the outset of our discussion with their team, I’ve been able to see that we share the same mission: to offer the best for our customers.”
