Porter Airlines is expanding travel options at London International Airport (YXU) with the introduction of five new domestic routes launching in spring 2027.
The new service will link London, ON directly with Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal-MET, Ottawa and Vancouver.
It builds on the airline’s latest announcement introducing four routes to sun destinations in Florida, Mexico and Jamaica starting this winter.
“We are building on the strong passenger response to our recent winter sun destinations announcement by introducing five nonstop domestic routes. This expansion demonstrates that Porter is committed to making London a meaningful part of our network,” said Kevin Jackson, president of Porter Airlines, in a press release.
“Travellers across Southwestern Ontario will have convenient access to popular cities from coast to coast, combined with the elevated, passenger-first experience Porter is known for. The addition of these routes ensures that over two million residents in the region have convenient travel options from their local airport.”
The flight schedules are as follows:

New flights, new opportunities

“This announcement is about more than new flights. It is about connecting Southwestern Ontario to opportunities across Canada,” said Scott McFadzean, president and CEO, London International Airport, in a statement.
“These five domestic non-stop routes represent a transformational investment in our region, strengthening access for travellers and businesses while enhancing London’s position as a growing centre for aviation and aerospace. We thank Porter Airlines for their continued confidence in our airport, our community and our future.”
