Porter Airlines to Connect Hamilton with Florida: Direct Flights to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale
Porter Airlines is expanding its presence at Hamilton’s John C. Munro International Airport with two new routes to Florida: Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, launching in December. These direct connections mark a new chapter in the Canadian airline’s growth strategy and represent its first U.S. flights from this city.
Strategic Winter Routes
Flights to Orlando will begin on December 12, followed by Fort Lauderdale on December 13, both operating three times weekly. The seasonal routes will remain active until April.
Porter is now the only airline offering non-stop service between Hamilton and these two key destinations in southern Florida, catering to the high demand from Canadian travelers during the winter months.
