The Bahamas Welcomes Inaugural Porter Airlines Flight from Montréal to Nassau

Nassau, The Bahamas, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation welcomed the inaugural nonstop Porter Airlines flight from Montréal (YUL) to Nassau (NAS), marking the commencement of new seasonal service connecting Quebec directly to The Islands of The Bahamas.

The arrival of the February 5 flight further strengthens airlift from one of Canada’s key source markets and enhances access for travellers seeking convenient winter sun escapes. The service supports continued growth from Eastern Canada during the peak winter travel season.

“The commencement of Porter Airlines’ nonstop service from Montréal to Nassau reflects our continued focus on strengthening airlift from Canada,” said the Hon. I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation. “Quebec is an important market for The Bahamas, and this direct connection makes it even easier for Canadian travellers to experience our beaches, culture, and warm Bahamian hospitality.”

Director General of The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation, Latia Duncombe, noted the strategic value of the new service.

“The introduction of Porter Airlines’ nonstop Montréal–Nassau service adds capacity and reflects ongoing interest from the Canadian market,” said Duncombe. “Expanding options for travellers supports steady growth while reinforcing Montréal’s role as a key gateway to The Bahamas.”

With nonstop service now available from key Canadian cities, The Bahamas is more accessible than ever for travellers looking to escape winter just a few hours from home. The Montréal–Nassau route reinforces the destination’s continued focus on strengthening connectivity and supporting sustained travel demand from Canada.
