VANCOUVER, B.C., October 1, 2024 – Harbour Air, North America’s largest seaplane airline, is excited to announce that due to increasing demand, flights between Richmond (YVR South) and Powell River will return beginning October 1, 2024.

With fares starting from as low as $113 one-way, Harbour Air’s Richmond (YVR South) – Powell River route will provide passengers with additional flight availability and frequency throughout the winter and early spring season. Bookings for the new route are now available for purchase on harbourair.com.

Harbour Air has been operating regular scheduled flights between downtown Vancouver and Powell River for some time, but has seen increasing demand for travel to Powell River throughout 2024. As such, the airline has decided to bolster flight capacity to the region via their Richmond (YVR South) location, which will help further connect residents, visitors and businesses in Powell River to the lower mainland and Vancouver Island.  

“We’re excited to expand our flights to Powell River via our Richmond (YVR South) location, and support the growing demand for travel to this region. Powell River continues to be an increasingly popular destination for tourism, business and family travel, and we welcome the opportunity to provide guests with fast and convenient flights to Powell River from the lower mainland.”
