Porter Airlines Expands Winter Schedule With 22 New Routes to Sun Destinations

Expansion includes five new destinations, Porter’s first international service from Western Canada, and start of London, Ont., flights

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Porter Airlines is significantly expanding its winter schedule, introducing 22 new routes taking off to southern destinations. The major expansion represents a 75% increase in seat capacity compared to last year, building on the strong momentum of Porter’s inaugural service to Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.

In winter 2026, Porter carried well over 200,000 passengers to these destinations. The airline is dramatically broadening its reach this season with five brand-new southern destinations being served from a variety of Canadian airports:

  • Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ)
  • San José, Costa Rica (SJO)
  • Los Cabos, Mexico (SJD)
  • Oranjestad, Aruba (AUA)
  • Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (PLS)

In addition to expanding options across major Canadian hubs, Porter is marking two significant regional expansion milestones:

  • Porter is launching its first-ever international routes out of Western Canada, connecting Edmonton (YEG) with nonstop flights to Puerto Vallarta (PVR) and Los Cabos (SJD) in Mexico. Additionally, service to Phoenix (PHX) and Las Vegas (LAS) in the U.S. starts this season.
  • Porter is initiating new sun service out of London International Airport (YXU) with four routes, consisting of Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Orlando (MCO), Cancun (CUN) and Montego Bay (MBJ).

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

All flights are operated on the state-of-the-art 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring a two-by-two seat configuration, meaning no middle seats on all flights. Passengers will get Porter’s signature elevated economy experience, including complimentary premium snacks, free beer and wine served in real glassware, and free, fast Wi-Fi for all passengers. Fresh, healthy meals are also available onboard; included in PorterReserve or available for purchase in PorterClassic.
