Porter Airlines takes off to Florida, Mexico from Hamilton

Porter Airlines is expanding its network from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM), with new international, nonstop service to Florida and Mexico.

The carrier took off to Orlando (MCO) on Dec. 12 and to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), on Dec. 13; with both routes offering three roundtrips weekly to begin with.

Porter will also start flights from Hamilton to Mexico, with Cancun (CUN) beginning Dec. 17, and operating up to four weekly roundtrips, while Puerto Vallarta (PVR) commences on Dec. 18, with two weekly roundtrips.

Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines, explained that: “The introduction of these four new routes at YHM deepens our commitment to the Greater Hamilton region. In less than six months, we’re giving travellers even more options to fly with Porter from their home airport — whether it’s across Canada, or to sunny southern destinations — while enjoying an elevated economy onboard experience that stands out across North America.”

Porter introduced service out of Hamilton in June, operating four domestic routes to Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and Vancouver. These destinations continue to be served year-round.
