Transat launches South packages on Porter flights

Longtime partners Transat and Porter Airlines are launching Transat packages that combine Porter's non-stop flights to Nassau, Grand Cayman, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta with Transat’s tour operator expertise.

Packages feature a selection of hotels in each destination, with a mix of all-inclusive and European Plan offerings depending on the property.

“These additions mark a significant enhancement to Transat’s South destination portfolio,” said Renée Boisvert, VP, tour operator products at Transat, in a press release. “Through our partnership with Porter Airlines, we’re expanding our reach with sought-after destinations like Nassau and George Town, while giving travellers more ways to build the trip that suits them best.”

For some popular destinations served by both carriers, such as Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, packages will now feature expanded flight options operated by either Porter or Transat, offering travellers greater flexibility and convenience.

"Our partnership with Transat is reaching a new milestone. Porter’s initial entry into traditional South vacation markets with an air-only product this season was a huge success. The introduction of packages gives Canadian travellers another seamless way to experience Porter’s elevated flying experience paired with Transat's trusted package expertise,” added Edmond Eldebs, SVP and chief commercial officer at Porter Airlines. “We're proud of what we're building together and excited about the possibilities it creates for travellers."

New packages will be available from Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton for travel on or after November 1, 2026, and will be accessible through Transat’s distribution channels, serving both direct customers and travel agencies.

Air Transat and Porter signed a joint venture at the end of 2023, bringing together their complementary networks, making it easier for travellers to connect seamlessly between Porter’s North American network and Transat’s international destinations.
