New routes to Kelowna and Vancouver’s south terminal are available from Nanaimo Airport now that a partnership is in place with B.C.-based Pacific Coastal Airlines.
On Tuesday, Sept. 12, stakeholders gathered at the Nanaimo Airport to celebrate the first flight of the new Nanaimo-to-Vancouver South Terminal and Nanaimo-Kelowna routes, utilizing a 19-passenger Beechcraft 1900 aircraft.
Dave Devana, CEO of the Nanaimo Airport, said Pacific Coastal Airlines “is a partner we’ve been seeking to have here for a long time.”
Daily flights will be departing to Vancouver at 7:45 a.m. and returning to Nanaimo at 2:55 p.m. and Kelowna flights will be departing at 3:50 p.m. and returning at 5:20 p.m.
“This new service further connects our communities, giving British Columbians and those who travel here another option to visit Nanaimo and other destinations on the Island, while providing important air access for the region to Vancouver and beyond,” said Russ Atkinson, director of air service development with the Vancouver Airport Authority, in a news release.
