Porter Airlines has announced an expansion of their summer 2026 schedule with new service from Toronto City to Nashville, as well as new service to Boston from both Toronto Pearson and Montreal.
On Thursday (January 29, 2026), Porter Airlines announced their summer 2026 schedule which features new destinations, new routes, added frequencies, and the continuation of popular winter routes. The carrier will launch new service Between Toronto City Airport (BNA) and Nashville International Airport (BNA), as well as to Boston (BOS) from both Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and Montreal (YUL). Additionally, Porter is introducing six new routes across Toronto Pearson, Hamilton (YHM) and Ottawa (YOW). Starting May 1st, 2026, service in Sudbury (YSB) and Windsor (YQG) will move to Ottawa from Toronto City, providing travelers with non-stop access from these cities to Porter’s growing hub in the national capital and greater connectivity across North America.
In Thursday’s announcement, Porter Airlines’ VP – Network Planning and Reporting, Andrew Pearce, said,
“We are making a substantial increase in flights for Porter this summer, touching on every region we fly to. Our overall network is growing by 20%, the fastest rate for any airline in North America, as we continue providing service for more passengers. Our long-standing commitment to a distinct elevated economy experience continues to result in exceptional customer satisfaction.”
Also commenting on Porter’s summer 2026 network expansion, Toronto Port Authority’s President and CEO, RJ Steenstra, said,
“We are pleased that Porter Airlines is continuing to grow its service from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport with the addition of Nashville. Famed for its live music scene, creative industries and rich history, Nashville is a strong addition to our growing network of destinations. As Toronto’s downtown airport, we provide a convenient and efficient gateway to key destinations across Canada and the U.S., and we’re excited to make it easier for people to experience all that Nashville has to offer. This service will benefit from the new U.S. CBP Preclearance facility that will open in the coming weeks at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and will offer even greater convenience to our passengers.”
The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority’s President and CEO, Doug Kreulen, added,
“Porter Airlines’ arrival at Nashville International Airport (BNA) represents an exciting expansion of our international connectivity. Nonstop access to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) gives our passengers a convenient and highly desirable connection to the heart of Toronto, and it reflects the continued demand we’re seeing from both business and leisure travelers in Middle Tennessee. We’re proud to welcome Porter as our newest airline partner at BNA and look forward to the start of service in May 2026.”
As previously mentioned, Porter will increase frequencies on a number of domestic Canadian routes, and will also extend some popular winter seasonal route through summer, including service from Toronto Pearson to Cancun (CUN), Costa Rica (LIR) and Nassau (NAS), Hamilton to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), as well as from Ottawa to Cancun. Porter will be the only airline offering travelers access to sun destinations from Ottawa for summer 2026.
Guests on all flights will enjoy Porter’s signature service, including no middle seats, complimentary wine and beer served in glassware and premium snacks. Routes operated with the carrier’s Embraer E195-E2 jets also have free, fast Wi-Fi available for everyone.
