Canadian airline Porter plans to suspend another route to the U.S. as travel demand between the two countries lags. Several airlines – including Air Canada, WestJet, and Porter – have already trimmed their transborder schedules.
In November, Porter began non-stop flights between Ottawa and Las Vegas. These flights operated four times per week, and were previously scheduled to end this month, resuming in October.
According to Cirium Diio schedule data, this route will no longer restart in the fall, and has been completely wiped from the airline’s schedule.
Porter will now serve Las Vegas solely from Toronto.
In May, the carrier also confirmed that it would end flights to San Diego, a route that began in December.

“We are in the process of finalizing our winter schedule and it’s possible the route may not return. LAS is still available as a connection in Toronto. We hope we are able to bring the route back at a later date,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
Instead, Porter opted to add several routes overflying the U.S. this week. Starting this fall, the carrier will fly to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Nassau in the Bahamas; Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands; and Liberia, Costa Rica.
