Porter Airlines is adding another destination to its sun network with service to Providenciales (PLS), Turks and Caicos. The new non-stop flights are available from Toronto Pearson (YYZ), five times weekly, beginning November 6, and Ottawa (YOW), twice weekly, beginning December 17.
Turks and Caicos is the fifth new sun destination to be added to Porter’s growing winter seasonal network, joining recently announced Aruba, San Jose (Costa Rica), Montego Bay and Los Cabos. This is in addition to existing service to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau, Grand Cayman and Liberia.
Hamilton International Airport (YHM) is also gaining a new route to Tampa (TPA), Florida, with four weekly flights, beginning Dec. 18. This is the third city in Florida that Porter flies to from Hamilton, joining Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.

“Porter is focused on delivering what passengers truly want–more destinations and a distinctly elevated economy experience. Travelling with Porter is designed to put passengers at ease, thanks to our signature service and genuine hospitality. We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard for their next getaway,” said Andrew Pierce, vice-president, Network Planning and Reporting, Porter Airlines.
Hon. Zhavargo Jolly, Minister of Tourism, Turks and Caicos Islands, commented: “Canada has become one of our most valuable tourism markets, and the addition of Porter Airlines service from both Toronto and Ottawa represents a significant investment in the future of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Over the past year, Experience Turks and Caicos has placed a strong emphasis on travel advisor training, tour operator engagement and strategic marketing and public relations initiatives across Canada. We are seeing the results of those efforts through increased awareness, stronger demand and continued growth in visitor arrivals from the market. These new flights provide additional opportunities to build on that momentum and welcome even more Canadian visitors to our shores.”
