Porter Airlines is taking off from Ottawa with the launch of its winter schedule featuring five southern destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean and Costa Rica.

The carrier already launched weekly flights from Ottawa to Nassau on Dec. 13 and six time weekly flights to Puerto Vallarta also on Dec. 13.

On Dec. 17, Porter will take off from Ottawa to Cancun with 6 flights weekly and to Liberia, Costa Rica daily service.

It will add twice weekly service to Grand Cayman on Dec. 19.

Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines, said that: “The launch of these routes is a celebration of our growth to new regions and another demonstration of Porter’s commitment to Ottawa-Gatineau.”

And Jackson continued: “This winter, Porter is offering more flights from YOW than any other carrier, serving 24 non-stop routes. We are giving local travellers more options than ever, while enjoying the elevated level of service and style that only Porter provides.”

Flights for every route beginning this month are operated by the 132-seat Embraer E195-E2. The aircraft features a two-by-two seating configuration, meaning no middle seats for any passenger. Porter’s elevated onboard experience includes complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, premium Canadian snacks, and free, fast WiFi for every passenger.
