Travellers flying to sun destinations out of the Ottawa International Airport will have more options starting this December as Porter Airlines adds flights to popular vacation spots direct from YOW.
Starting Dec. 13, Porter will fly twice a week during peak season from YOW to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and once weekly to Nassau, The Bahamas. Starting Dec. 17, Porter will fly three times a week to Cancun, Mexico, and twice a week to Liberia, Costa Rica. Starting Dec. 19, Porter will fly once a week to Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
“These are Porter’s first routes outside of our longtime presence throughout Canada and the U.S., and we’re starting off in a big way by introducing five distinctly different destinations,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines, in a news release Wednesday.
