Porter Eyes Caribbean Expansion to Barbados, Aruba, and DR

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Porter has been granted licences by the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) to operate flights to Barbados, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic.

The CTA posted the decisions on 26MAR, confirming that the airline met "all the applicable requirements" for approval.

Porter has not yet announced available flights to these destinations, but the licences signal potential further expansion into the Caribbean.

The airline debuted its first sun-route service this 2025-2026 winter season, flying from Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, and Montreal to Nassau in the Bahamas, Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, and Cancun and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Porter also started service in December to Liberia in Costa Rica.

Porter is coming off a busy few weeks. On 24MAR, the airline announced 14 weekly flights between the new Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU), effectively doubling its Montreal capacity as reported by Open Jaw.

As well, Open Jaw reported last week that Porter is boosting service from Hamilton.
