The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism (CIDOT) is proud to announce that Porter Airlines will launch its first-ever non-stop service to the Cayman Islands from two key cities in Canada – a major milestone in enhancing the Cayman Islands’ accessibility for Canadian travellers.
The new routes will launch from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) three times weekly beginning December 16, 2025, and from Ottawa International Airport (YOW) once weekly starting December 19, 2025 to Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman (GCM). The Ottawa flight marks the first-ever non-stop service to the Cayman Islands from Canada’s capital. Both routes will give Canadian travellers more convenient options to reach the Cayman Islands and offer more connectivity from regional markets across Canada.
Porter will fly its state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, known for being the quietest and most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft in its class. Passengers can expect a superior travel experience featuring a 132-seat, all-economy configuration with no middle seats, complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, premium snacks, and free high-speed Wi-Fi.
“We are thrilled to welcome Porter Airlines to the Cayman Islands with its inaugural non-stop service from two key Canadian gateways,” said Mrs. Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism. “Porter is a favourite among our cherished Canadian travellers, recognized for its outstanding service and comfort. These new routes are the result of strategic business development efforts by the CIDOT to provide more convenient, non-stop travel options for Canadians, broadening our reach. We look forward to welcoming even more Canadians this winter to enjoy our stunning beaches, vibrant culture, superb cuisine, and warm Caymanian hospitality.”
“Canadian travel interest in the Cayman Islands is steadily growing and now passengers can enjoy Porter’s award-winning hospitality in every aspect of the flight experience,” says Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting. “From the moment passengers step onto a Porter flight, they’re treated to a level of service that complements the charm and sophistication of the destination.”
