Porter Airlines is announcing a significant expansion of its 2025-26 winter schedule, increasing flights to southern destinations by up to 25% during peak travel periods and unveiling four new routes, including its first transborder service from Vancouver (to Phoenix).
Further enhancing its Ottawa (YOW) base, Porter is adding new routes to two major American Airlines hubs – Phoenix (PHX) and Miami (MIA). This strengthens cross-border connectivity and aligns with the airline’s recently announced American Airlines codeshare partnership. The two cities are destinations in themselves, but also offer connections onward across American’s broad network.
Adding to the sun destination portfolio, Porter will also launch its first Caribbean flight from Montreal (YUL) with new service to Nassau (NAS), expanding its presence in the Caribbean and offering passengers more choices for winter getaways.
New routes launching this winter are:
- Ottawa-Miami 3x weekly from Jan. 24
- Vancouver-Phoenix, daily from Feb. 2
- Montreal YUL-Nassau, 3x weekly from Feb. 5
- Ottawa-Phoenix, 3x weekly from Feb. 7
In addition to the new routes, Porter is increasing capacity on several popular sun destinations from Hamilton, Ottawa and Toronto Pearson, including:
- Hamilton (YHM) – Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
- Ottawa (YOW) – Grand Cayman (GCM)
- Ottawa (YOW) – Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR)
- Ottawa (YOW) – Puerto Vallarta (PVR)
- Toronto Pearson (YYZ) – Cancun (CUN)
- Toronto Pearson (YYZ) – Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
- Toronto Pearson (YYZ) – Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR)
“Our updated winter schedule represents a major expansion of Porter’s network due to the strong response from customers for our new and existing sun markets. We are supporting this demand with new routes and increased frequency on existing popular destinations,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines. “We are committed to bringing our elevated economy experience to more travellers by connecting key gateways with sun destinations at the time of year when these trips are most valued by Canadians.”
