New airline to land at Qualicum Beach Airport
PARKSVILLE — A third commercial air carrier will soon offer regional service out of Qualicum Beach Airport.
Island Express Air will provide daily flights from Qualicum Beach to Victoria, Boundary Bay and Abbotsford, starting March 5, the company announced.
Owner Gerry Visser said their Oceanside-area customers have asked for easier access from Qualicum Beach to the Fraser Valley.
“Abbotsford is far more convenient, less traffic and it’s cheaper, it’s less money to take one flight rather than two carriers,” Visser told NanaimoNewsNOW.
