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

Daily flights on every route ensures that people can travel when they need to.

This includes up to three daily roundtrips for Montreal and Ottawa, giving business travellers the ability to make same-day trips.

Flights to Montreal Metropolitan Airport feature access to the city’s newest air travel experience. Located 30 minutes from downtown, MET provides a premium waiting lounge environment that is fast and easy to navigate from check in to boarding.

“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.”

Routes will be operated using a combination of Porter’s132-seat Embraer E195-E2 and 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft, with no middle seats across all routes.

Passengers will also enjoy Porter’s elevated economy experience, featuring complimentary beer and wine served in glassware and premium snacks for everyone. Free, fast Wi-Fi is available on E195-E2 flights.

PorterReserve delivers extra-legroom seating at the front of the cabin, dedicated check-in and boarding, two included checked bags, and complimentary fresh meals and premium cocktails on longer routes.

Alternatively, passengers choosing PorterClassic can customize their trip by adding perks à la carte.
