Porter Announces 4 New Winter Routes, 25% More Sun

Porter’s Ottawa base.

Porter Airlines has announced a significant expansion of its 2025-2026 winter schedule, increasing flights to southern destinations by up to 25% during peak travel periods and unveiling four new routes.

This includes the introduction of Porter’s first-ever transborder service from Vancouver (YVR) with a non-stop flight to Phoenix (PHX). 

Porter is adding new routes from Ottawa to two major American Airlines hubs – Phoenix (PHX) and Miami (MIA). The airline says this move strengthens cross-border connectivity and aligns with the airline’s recently-announced American Airlines codeshare partnership.

Adding to the sun destination portfolio, Porter will also launch its first Caribbean flight from Montreal (YUL) with new service to Nassau (NAS), expanding its presence in the Caribbean and offering passengers more choices for winter getaways.

New routes launching this winter are:

Ottawa (YOW) to Phoenix (PHX)February 7, 20263x weekly


In addition to the new routes, Porter is increasing capacity on several sun destinations from Hamilton, Ottawa and Toronto Pearson, including:

  • Hamilton (YHM) – Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
  • Ottawa (YOW) – Grand Cayman (GCM)
  • Ottawa (YOW) – Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR)
  • Ottawa (YOW) – Puerto Vallarta (PVR)
  • Toronto Pearson (YYZ) – Cancun (CUN)
  • Toronto Pearson (YYZ) – Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
  • Toronto Pearson (YYZ) – Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR)

“Our updated winter schedule represents a major expansion of Porter’s network due to the strong response from customers for our new and existing sun markets. We are supporting this demand with new routes and increased frequency on existing popular destinations,” said Porter president Kevin Jackson.
