Pacific Coastal flights coming to YXC

A new non-stop service between Kelowna and Cranbrook’s Canadian Rockies International Airport will be established later this year, with daily flights commencing on Oct. 27 using a 19-passenger Beechcraft 1900 aircraft.

Pacific Coastal officials said it will offer seamless one-stop connections via Kelowna to Victoria, Nanaimo and Comox and evening returns.

“We are ecstatic to officially welcome the return of Pacific Coastal Airlines to YXC,” said airport manager Tristen Chernove.

“This renewed partnership represents a vital enhancement to our regional connectivity and is of utmost importance to our community and the broader Kootenay region.”

There will be a 9 a.m. departure from Cranbrook daily from Sunday to Friday and an 11 a.m. departure on Saturdays.
