Porter adds 22 winter sun routes, boosts southern capacity 75%

Porter Airlines is expanding its winter schedule with 22 new routes to southern destinations, increasing seat capacity by 75 per cent compared with last year.

The expansion includes five new sun destinations, the airline’s first international services from Western Canada and the launch of sun flights from London, Ont.

Porter said it carried more than 200,000 passengers to Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America during winter 2026, its inaugural season serving those markets.

The airline is adding five southern destinations this season, with service from various Canadian airports:

• Montego Bay, Jamaica
• San José, Costa Rica
• Los Cabos, Mexico
• Oranjestad, Aruba
• Providenciales, Turks and Caicos

“Our expanded winter schedule reflects the strong demand we’ve seen from Canadian travellers looking for convenient and elevated travel to warm-weather getaways,” Andrew Pierce, vice-president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines, said.

“By boosting our southern capacity and introducing key new destinations across Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America, we are giving our passengers more choice and flexibility, while bringing Porter’s signature hospitality to even more markets.”

Edmonton and London gain sun flights

From Edmonton International Airport, Porter is introducing nonstop service to Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos in Mexico, marking its first international routes from Western Canada.

Service from Edmonton to Phoenix and Las Vegas also begins this season.

At London International Airport, Porter is launching four sun routes: Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Cancun and Montego Bay.

All flights will operate aboard 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring a two-by-two seating configuration with no middle seats.

Onboard service includes complimentary premium snacks, beer and wine served in glassware, and free Wi-Fi. Fresh meals are included with PorterReserve fares and available for purchase in PorterClassic.
