North America's largest seaplane airline has announced a new service to the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappcommunity.
With the construction of a new dock on the east side of the new Oceanfront ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappdevelopment, Harbour Air will serve the community with pick-up and drop-off services when connecting to a seaplane flight.
“Having a safe, protected and dedicated seaplane dock to service the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappcommunity has been a goal of the company for many years," said Harbour Air CEO and ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappresident, Greg McDougall.
“ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappis a community that is thriving but struggles with limited access due to frequent highway interruptions. We believe that having a travel option for locals, businesses and visitors will help ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappcontinue to prosper.”
With over 40 aircraft on the coast, the carrier will begin by offering on-demand flight service. Passengers can then connect on flights across its network, such as Victoria, Powell River, Seattle, Tofino, and Kelowna.
Cheap flights from Vancouver
Harbour Air says it also hopes to introduce a year-round connection to Whistler via Squamish. Additionally, it hopes to schedule regular flights between its Downtown Vancouver location in Coal Harbour and ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµapponce construction of the oceanfront ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappdevelopment is complete.
Harbour Air resumed on May 16 with promotional rates starting at $249 CAD. The route offers an inexpensive and convenient alternative for travellers looking to fly out of the downtown core.
