Heliport at Nanaimo Harbour Welcome Centre
Helijet is celebrating its first 10 years of serving travellers between Nanaimo and Vancouver by offering a one-day “throwback fare” of $109 on Tuesday, March 11.
Helijet began its service between Vancouver Harbour Heliport and its Nanaimo Harbour Heliport on March 11, 2015, providing a vital and reliable 20-minute transportation link between the Lower Mainland and central Vancouver Island.
It began as a weekday service but later expanded to seven days a week flying a Sikorsky S76 12-seat passenger helicopter.
“Nanaimo and its connected communities on Vancouver Island continue to grow and over the years, so has the demand for our daily service to Nanaimo,” said Rick Hill, Vice President of Commercial & Business Programs at Helijet. “Today, we offer 12 flights daily between Nanaimo and Vancouver and have carried more than 196,000 passengers in our first 10 years. We look forward to continuing this clearly popular service into our second decade, and we’re saying thank you by offering our passengers our special $109 anniversary fare, the same price we offered on opening day.”
Reservations for the $109 flights, valid for flights on March 11th only, are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis online at Helijet.com or by phone at 1.800.665.4354.
