Porter Airlines Expands Summer Network With New U.S. and Canadian Routes

Porter Airlines will expand its North American network this summer with new routes, increased frequencies and the continuation of select winter markets, including new U.S. service to Nashville International Airport.

The 2026 summer schedule includes new nonstop service between Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and Nashville (BNA), marking Porter’s latest U.S. expansion. Additional U.S. growth includes new Boston service from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL).

Across Canada, Porter is introducing six new routes and expanding connectivity through its hubs at Toronto Pearson, Hamilton International Airport (YHM), and Ottawa International Airport (YOW). Beginning May 1, service from Sudbury (YSB) and Windsor (YQG) will shift from Toronto City to Ottawa, strengthening the carrier’s national capital hub and improving onward connections across North America.

New routes launching this summer include Ottawa–Windsor, Ottawa–Sudbury, Toronto City–Nashville, Toronto Pearson–Quebec City (returning), Ottawa–Kelowna, Toronto Pearson–Boston, Montréal–Boston, Hamilton–St. John’s and Hamilton–Winnipeg. Frequencies range from four to 14 weekly flights, depending on the market.

Porter is also increasing capacity on several existing domestic routes, including Ottawa–Winnipeg, Toronto Pearson–Deer Lake, and Hamilton–Halifax, reflecting continued demand in key regional markets.

Several winter seasonal routes will extend through the summer, including service from Toronto Pearson to Cancun, Costa Rica and Nassau; Hamilton to Fort Lauderdale; and Ottawa to Cancun. Porter will be the only airline offering nonstop sun-destination service from Ottawa during the summer season.

“We are making a substantial increase in flights for Porter this summer, touching every region we serve,” said Andrew Pierce, vice president of network planning and reporting at Porter Airlines. “Our overall network is growing by 20%, supporting additional passenger demand while strengthening our hub strategy.”

Airport officials said the new Nashville service supports growing cross-border demand and strengthens downtown Toronto’s U.S. connectivity.

“Nonstop access to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport provides a highly desirable connection to the heart of Toronto,” said Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. “This service reflects continued demand from both business and leisure travelers.”

The expanded schedule positions Porter for its largest summer operation to date, with full schedule details available through the airline.
