Canadians travelling with Transat will have more options starting this winter as the company expands its partnership with Porter Airlines. 

Beginning Nov. 1, 2026, new packages will be available from Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton, combining Porter non-stop flights to Nassau, Grand Cayman, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, with Transat’s tour operator expertise.  

“These additions mark a significant enhancement to Transat’s South destination portfolio,” said Renée Boisvert, Vice-President, Tour Operator Products at Transat. “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.”

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

Destinations that are already served by Transat (such as Cancun and Puerto Vallarta) packages will now feature expanded flight options operated by either Porter or Transat. 

"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,” said Edmond Eldebs, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Porter Airlines. “We're proud of what we're building together and excited about the possibilities it creates for travellers." 

These packages will be accessible through Transat’s full range of distribution channels, serving both direct customers and travel agencies.
