Pacific Coastal inaugurates Vancouver to Kamloops

Pacific Coastal’s crew commemorate the route’s launch in Kamloops before returning to Vancouver.

Pacific Coastal began Vancouver to Kamloops on 9 February, with Kamloops the carrier’s 12th destination served non-stop from British Columbia’s largest city this month.

Operating six-weekly, the 258-kilometre service uses 19-seat Beech 1900s.

Air Canada Jazz and Central Mountain Air will return in April, with all three having a collective 42-weekly.  

Ed Ratuski, Managing Director of Kamloops Airport, said: “Welcoming the return of Pacific Coastal Airlines to Kamloops is certainly a bright spot for the airport and the community we are proud to serve.

“This new service provides a valuable connection with Vancouver for essential travel as we look forward to recovery.”
