Key Takeaways:

Canadian airline Porter is bringing a new city into its network.

The carrier announced Wednesday that it will serve London, Ontario, for the first time later this year. Porter plans to launch four seasonal routes, linking London to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale in Florida; Cancun, Mexico; and Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Service to Fort Lauderdale will start first, on Nov. 18. Flights will operate four times weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

One day later, on Nov. 19, service to Orlando will commence, with flights operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

The following month, on Dec. 17, Porter will start flights between London and Cancun. That route will operate four times weekly, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Finally, on Dec. 18, the carrier will launch twice weekly service to Montego Bay. Flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays.

All four winter routes will use new, 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.

Porter also said that it is building a year-round domestic schedule for London. No destinations or dates were announced, but the airline expects to have those flights operating by the summer of 2027.

“The introduction of Porter service at YXU will benefit more than two million people in the Greater London area who can now fly from their local airport,” Porter CEO Michael Deluce said in a news release. “Travelers throughout the region deserve seamless, elevated travel options closer to home. The combination of southern and domestic flights is an opportunity to introduce them to Porter’s award-winning passenger experience, delivered with genuine care and hospitality.”

Porter serves destinations across Canada and the U.S., as well as some markets in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
