Porter Airlines Heading to the Sun with 5 Destinations, 13 Routes

A surging Porter Airlines has announced its first flights to sun destinations in Mexico, the Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Costa Rica this winter. 

Travellers can choose from five destinations and 13 routes originating from Toronto Pearson International Airport, Ottawa International Airport and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport.

The line-up includes Cancun, Mexico (CUN), Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR), Nassau, The Bahamas (NAS), Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (GCM), and Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR).

“These are Porter’s first routes outside of our long-time presence throughout Canada and the U.S., and we’re starting off in a big way by introducing five distinctly different destinations,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines. 

Porter has disrupted the North American economy air travel market with its fast-growing fleet of Embraer E195-E2 aircraft with a no middle-seat 2X2 configuration.

The initial winter schedule is below.

Flights to Costa Rica and Grand Cayman remain subject to receipt of government approval.

“Recognizing that many passengers prefer Porter’s approach to economy travel, we have seen other Canadian airlines mimic our unique service in other regions where we already fly, such as by adding free beer and wine, and we anticipate that our competitors will do it again as we enter new sun destinations,” Jackson added.

“But our loyal passengers know that the feeling of flying Porter can’t be matched. It’s intangible elements, like our caring people and generous service, that continue setting us apart. That’s why people love Porter, and why they are going to enjoy flying with us to the sun.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Porter Airlines to the Cayman Islands with its inaugural non-stop service from two key Canadian gateways,” said Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism. 

“Porter is a favourite among our cherished Canadian travellers, recognized for its outstanding service and comfort. These new routes are the result of strategic business development efforts by the CIDOT to provide more convenient, non-stop travel options for Canadians, broadening our reach. We look forward to welcoming even more Canadians this winter to enjoy our stunning beaches, vibrant culture, superb cuisine, and warm Caymanian hospitality.”
