Nanaimo travelers will have another option to get to Vancouver on weekends
NANAIMO — Another option for getting over to Vancouver on the weekend is coming — and just in time for Christmas.
Helijet has been operating weekday flights in Nanaimo since March of 2015. Next month they’ll be expanding to weekends.
Spokesman Rick Hill says their passengers have been calling for this for some time now.
“For shopping, for concerts, for hockey games, for all kinds of things, we’ve had people asking and wondering how they can get over and get back quickly and efficiently,” said Hill. “I think it opens up that leisure market and visiting friends and relatives. All of those kinds of things come on to the table when you have weekend service.”
