Peninsula now has scheduled
flights to downtown Vancouver.
Commuters, visitors and shoppers travelling from Vancouver Islands Saanich peninsula, no longer have to rely on BC ferries.
A new air service
from Salt
Spring Air allows them to soar over the long ferry line ups to arrive in
downtown Vancouver in
just 30 minutes, a fraction of the time it takes on the water.
The Patricia Bay seaplane base
is just behind Victoria international airport, easily accessible off HW17. Commuters and day trippers can now take a short morning flight to Vancouver with Salt Spring Air and return late in the afternoon.
This service is especially suitable for the many people living on the Saanich Peninsula. No more will they be forced to drive down to Victoria's Inner Harbour to catch a seaplane, in order to over the peninsula to reach Vancouver. This is a quicker option at a lower cost without the hassles of parking in Victoria! more
