Porter Airlines to Connect London with Five Canadian Cities Starting in 2027. Regional carrier Porter Airlines has unveiled a expansion plan out of London International Airport (YXU) in Ontario (Canada). The expansion introduces five direct domestic routes launching in spring 2027. Through this operational increase, the airline will link London directly with Halifax, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal, expanding non-stop air travel options for residents living across Southwestern Ontario.

The commercial rollout is scheduled to begin on April 12, 2027, with the simultaneous launch of four new non-stop corridors. Flights connecting London with Halifax will operate up to seven times per week, while the route to Vancouver will feature 11 weekly frequencies. Meanwhile, the services to Ottawa and Montreal-MET will see the highest flight density on the network schedule, offering up to 20 weekly flights each. The fifth route, linking London to Edmonton, will begin service on May 6 with a daily frequency.
Operations will rely on a mixed fleet strategy utilizing two distinct aircraft types. The carrier plans to deploy 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 jetliners alongside 78-seat De Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprops. Neither aircraft model features middle seating, ensuring passengers sit exclusively in aisle or window spots. Passengers traveling on flights operated by the Embraer E195-E2 fleet will also receive access to high-speed, complimentary Wi-Fi connection throughout the flight.
