HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE travel yearly on Harbour Air Seaplanes and Westcoast Air between Vancouver, Victoria, Comox, Sechelt, Richmond Langley, Nanaimo and the Gulf Islands.
Harbour Air was founded in British Columbia in 1982. With two small Dehavilland Beaver seaplanes and a plan to service the forest industry, we began offering private charters. With growing success the company quickly expanded, adding scheduled flights between Vancouver, the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island.
West Coast Air was originally the float plane division of Air BC. Rick Baxter, a commercial pilot, became a partner in 1998, and bought West Coast Air outright in 2004.
In August 2006, West Coast Air acquired the assets of Pacific Wings Airlines, expanding its routes.
On April 20, 2007, West Coast Air completed the purchase of Baxter Aviation, adding a further 9 de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft to its fleet, and increasing its number of employees to over 150.
On April 30, 2010 Harbour Air completed its purchase of the assets of West Coast Air. Harbour Air still operates West Coast Air under the banner of West Coast Air.
