Porter will kick off daily flights from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) to Calgary (YYC), Edmonton (YEG), Halifax (YHZ) and Vancouver (YVR) in June 2025, coinciding with a series of airport terminal enhancements.

We see significant opportunity in this market to expand our network across North America and believe that the community can support these initial flights, which will position us to consider offering additional service from Hamilton.”

All routes will be operated with the new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 featuring a two-by-two configuration and free, fast Wi-Fi. Initial flight schedules for each route are as follows (all times are local):
