Porter Airlines has launched its inaugural flight from Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to Nassau, Bahamas (NAS). The schedule will ramp up over the next few weeks, leading to daily flights by Dec. 12, 2025. It’s part of Porter’s sun destination drive, which includes flights from Canada to vacation hotspots in Mexico, Costa Rica and Cayman Islands.

The Toronto flight is the first for Porter to head to The Bahamas, but it’s only the start for what the airline has planned for the season. Nonstop service from Ottawa begins on Dec. 13, and  from Montreal on Feb. 5, 2026.

“The introduction of Porter Airlines’ service to The Bahamas is a win for both our tourism sector and our economy,” says Hon. I. Chester Cooper, Bahamian deputy prime minister and minister of tourism, investments & aviation. “Every new connection creates opportunities for our people, our communities, and our partners across the islands. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Porter Airlines as we continue to position The Bahamas as a leading destination for travellers from Canada and around the world.”

Flights are operated on Porter’s “no middle seat” Embraer E195-E2 fleet. Full schedule details can be found at flyporter.com.
