Harbour Air, North America’s largest seaplane airline, announced on Friday the launch of its first-ever wheeled flight service between Vancouver International Airport and Victoria International Airport in Canada.
The new route, which begins on November 4, 2024, will offer up to three daily round-trip flights between the two airports. This marks a significant expansion for Harbour Air, as it has traditionally only operated seaplanes.
“We’re very excited to launch our first-ever wheeled flights between YVR’s South Terminal and YYJ Victoria International Airport and provide passengers with new flexible early morning and late evening commuting options,” said Chris Fordyce, Harbour Air Group’s commercial chief, in a news release.
The airline’s new aircraft are converted Twin Otter seaplanes that have been equipped with wheels and de-icing equipment, allowing them to operate in a wider range of conditions.
