Porter Adds 22 Sun Routes, Boosts Winter Capacity by 75%

Porter Airlines announced 22 new routes to destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and the United States, while increasing its southern seat capacity by 75% compared to last year.

Five new destinations are being added to Porter's network this winter: Montego Bay, Jamaica; San José, Costa Rica; Los Cabos, Mexico; Aruba; and Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.

The expanded schedule also marks two significant developments for travellers flying from regional Canadian airports.

For the first time, Porter is launching international flights from Western Canada, with nonstop flights from Edmonton to Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos. The airline is also adding flights from Edmonton to Phoenix and Las Vegas.

In Ontario, London International Airport is gaining four new sun destinations: Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Cancun and Montego Bay.

"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 will operate using Porter's 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, which offer a two-by-two seating configuration with no middle seats.

Passengers receive complimentary snacks, beer and wine served in glassware, and free Wi-Fi. Meals are included with PorterReserve fares or available for purchase in PorterClassic.
