by Marsha Mowers
Porter Airlines is celebrating the launch of new nonstop service between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Operating daily through April 19, 2026, the seasonal route marks Porter’s first transborder service from Western Canada.
The Vancouver–Phoenix route becomes Porter’s third connection to Phoenix, complementing year-round flights from Toronto Pearson and seasonal service from Ottawa. Travellers can also access onward connections from Phoenix via Porter’s partner, American Airlines, to destinations including Tucson and San Diego.
“Being able to give travellers more convenient options to travel from Vancouver is a pivotal moment for Porter,” said Andrew Pierce, VP, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines.
“This route makes Phoenix’s unique desert and mountain landscape more accessible to our passengers in the west, and offers travellers a seamless connection to additional destinations in the U.S., through our codeshare partner, American Airlines.”
“We’re excited for Porter’s growth in the Phoenix market,” said Aviation Director Chad Makovsky. “Their partnership and commitment mean that travellers have more high-quality, convenient options between Phoenix and Canada. We look forward to welcoming travellers on Porter’s first transborder route from Vancouver.”
“We are pleased to support Porter Airlines’ growth at YVR and celebrate this additional new service from Vancouver,” said Russ Atkinson, Director, Air Service Development at Vancouver International Airport. “The new non-stop route to Phoenix strengthens connectivity for British Columbians, adds capacity for a key leisure and business destination, and supports economic activity while providing travellers with greater choice.”
