There will be no Pacific Coastal Airlines flights from the Powell River airport to Vancouver while upgrades are made to the runway.
In an announcement today, Pacific Coastal says flights will be suspended starting on April 8. Flights are expected to resume June 9; updates will be available on its website.
The airline says they will contact customers with reservations booked during the period of the runway closure and then will offer reservation changes to new dates at no additional cost. Customers can also choose to cancel their flights and get a full refund.
“We understand there may be frustration with this swift closure, and we are diligently working with our teams to notify affected passengers,” said President Quentin Smith.
“This runway rehabilitation is imperative for the safety of our passengers, the long-term sustainability of the airport, and the continuity of our service to Powell River. We eagerly anticipate the project’s completion and the resumption of our services for the summer.”
