Harbour Air announces major updates to its flight schedule

Sep 5 2025, 6:05 pm

Harbour Air is gearing up for its biggest expansion yet, with new routes and more flights set to roll out across B.C. and beyond over the next year.

By summer 2026, the seaplane airline said in a release that it will be flying up to 200 daily flights across 15 destinations, meaning more ways to hop between coastal communities, explore Vancouver Island, or even cross the border to Seattle.

Among the biggest announcements is a new connection to Campbell River, with service from Vancouver set to launch on July 6, 2026.

Ucluelet will also be added to the network, with flights from Vancouver beginning June 25, 2026.

In an exciting cross-border move, Harbour Air will introduce its first-ever direct flights between downtown Victoria and downtown Seattle starting June 11, 2026.

And for those looking to get to the West Coast surf more easily, year-round wheeled flights to Tofino-Long Beach Airport will take off on Oct. 27, 2025.

The airline is also bringing back wheeled service between Vancouver and Victoria this fall, and by Summer 2026, the Vancouver-Seattle route will increase to two flights per day.

Seasonal services are being adjusted, too. Vancouver-Sechelt flights will return on June 26, 2026, with Sechelt–Nanaimo resuming May 4, 2026.

Meanwhile, Powell River will become a summer-only route, starting April 2, 2026.

Harbour Air said in the release that the expansion is about making travel “easier, more flexible, and more connected than ever.”

With more destinations, seasonal options, and wheeled aircraft designed for year-round service, the airline is positioning itself as a more reliable way to explore B.C.’s coastlines and beyond.

“We’re responding directly to what our guests and communities are asking for: more choice, more flexibility, and more reliable travel,” said Chris Fordyce, chief commercial officer at Harbour Air.

“By adding new routes, extending operating hours, and introducing wheeled services for the winter months, we’re making sure people can get where they need to be, whatever the reason.”

From salmon fishing in Campbell River, to hiking the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet, or catching waves in Tofino, the company hopes travellers will spend less time on the road and more time enjoying the adventures waiting at each destination.

The updated 2025/2026 schedule is already live, with bookings open now.
