Starting in November, London International Airport (YXU) will see four nonstop seasonal routes to sunny southern destinations in Florida, Jamaica and Mexico. In 2027, the airline is also planning to introduce an extensive year-round domestic schedule, connecting locations across Canada with Southwestern Ontario’s largest city.“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,” said Michael Deluce, CEO, Porter Airlines. “Travellers 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.”Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

We are proud to welcome Porter Airlines to YXU and to celebrate an airline that will reshape connectivity for our region,” said Scott McFadzean, president and CEO, London International Airport. “For years, our region has been underserved when it comes to air service, with residents and businesses often travelling outside the region to access the connectivity they need. Porter’s commitment to London is a strong vote of confidence in the strength of our market, our growing economy, and the people who call this region home. It represents a commitment to rebuilding and strengthening air service in Southwestern Ontario while creating new opportunities for business, tourism, investment, and regional growth. As we prepare for this exciting new chapter, we have also made a number of enhancements throughout the terminal to ensure travellers enjoy an airport experience that is easy, comfortable, and welcoming from the moment they arrive.”All winter routes will be operated on the new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring no middle seats on all flights–a promise no other major airline in North America can make. Porter’s signature elevated economy experience also includes complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, premium snacks for everyone, and free, fast WiFi. For passengers looking for an all-inclusive onboard experience, PorterReserve also includes fresh, healthy meals and premium cocktails on longer flights, extra legroom seats in our front-of-cabin seating, dedicated check-in and boarding, and two checked bags. PorterClassic fares offer the same additional perks à la carte, for those wanting to customize their experience.Flights are now available for booking at www.flyporter.com and with travel agents.Since 2006, Porter Airlines has been elevating the experience of economy air travel for every passenger, providing genuine hospitality with style, care and charm.
