Porter adds Boston flights at YYZ & YUL, launches Winnipeg & St. John’s at YHM

Porter Airlines has launched new services connecting Boston Logan (BOS) to Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and Montreal Trudeau (YUL) airports.  

The routes give travellers a convenient gateway to New England and the U.S. Northeast. 

"Boston is one of the most visited cities in the United States, home to world-class universities, a thriving innovation economy, and a rich cultural and historic heritage," the airline notes in a press release

The schedule

Building on existing service from Toronto City (YTZ) and Ottawa (YOW), Porter will now operate a combined eight daily flights to Boston, bringing more options and greater frequency.

The YYZ-BOS route is operated on the Embraer E195-E2, marking the debut of the aircraft at Boston Logan. Passengers on this aircraft will receive free Wi-Fi,

The new routes open up onward connectivity for Boston travellers via YYZ and YUL. Passengers can tap into Porter's extensive domestic network, with service to Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Vancouver and more. 

Through Porter's joint venture with Air Transat, travellers can also connect onward to transatlantic destinations including Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona.

All Porter passengers enjoy no middle seats, complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, and premium snacks onboard. 

“Porter has served Boston since 2009, and today's launch from Toronto Pearson and Montreal marks another new chapter in that relationship. We’re excited to bring the E195-E2 to Boston Logan for the first time, and with expanded service from two major Canadian gateways, we look forward to giving even more travellers access to Porter's elevated onboard experience," said Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting at Porter, in a press release.

New routes in Hamilton, ON

Additionally, Porter has launched two new routes at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport in Hamilton, ON.

Non-stop service between Hamilton (YHM) and Winnipeg (YWG) began May 14, operating up to six roundtrips weekly. Hamilton - St. John’s (YYT) takes off May 15, with daily service by late June.

The initial flight schedules are as follows:

All times are local.

Both routes are operating on the airline’s Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.

“We’re emphasizing our commitment to Hamilton by giving passengers even more options when planning their travels,” said Pierce in a press release. “The addition of Winnipeg and St. John’s gives travellers the ability to choose Porter for these destinations and enjoy their flying experience the moment they step onboard our aircraft.” 

Travellers in the Greater Hamilton Area now have non-stop access to 14 destinations. Since launching Hamilton service in June 2025, Porter has introduced eight domestic, two transborder, and three sun destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean, including newly-announced Montego Bay, Jamaica.
