A new daily non-stop flight between Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»and Tofino has been added to Pacific Coastal Airlines’ spring schedule.
The new flight starts April 3, though the spring schedule will begin March 4 and be in effect until June 3.
The new flight will operate seven days a week, leaving Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»International’s south terminal at 3:15 p.m. and arriving at the Tofino/Long Beach Airport at 4 p.m. It leaves the west coast of the Island at 4:30 p.m. and arrives in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»at 5:15 p.m.
The airline will use a 19-seat turboprop Beechcraft 1900 to service the new route, but the company might upgrade to a 30 or 34-seat Saab 340A or 340B aircraft should demand increase.
Other changes to the spring schedule include a new early-morning connection between Cranbrook and Comox, three daily connections between Cranbrook and Victoria, twice-daily morning and afternoon flights between Port Hardy and Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»and the return of the Saturday flight between Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»and Masset starting May.
