Harbour Air announced that it will resume service for its Vancouver to Victoria flight route later this month.

In a release, Harbour Air says it has been “monitoring the situation” around the COVID-19 pandemic closely, “making difficult and necessary decisions to support the health and safety of our teams, passengers and communities.”

After resuming flights between Nanaimo, Sechelt, and Vancouver “to support essential travel” for those with limited options, Harbour Air says its downtown Vancouver/Victoria route will resume as of Monday, April 27.

Harbour Air is reminding customers that the flights are to support essential travel and frontline workers only, and “while the situation remains dynamic, with new information received each day, if you do not need to travel, please stay home.”

The following flight options are available to book online or through the Harbour Air reservations team:

The company has taken several measures to ensure the safety of the flight crew and passengers.

Flights will be completed using a larger aircraft and available seating will be reduced to 40% to allow for distancing, all ground and flight crew will have their temperature checked upon arriving and departing the workplace, passengers will be provided with gloves and a mask, which they will be required to wear during the entire flight, and stringent cleaning and sanitization measures will continue to be followed.

“Over the past 38 years, Harbour Air has become a vital transportation link to coastal British Columbia. We know that ‘returning to operations’ is not a ‘return to normal,'” said Harbour Air.

“As we begin to look towards the future, we are working hard to ensure that we are providing the safe, essential travel services you’ve come to expect from Harbour Air.”
