Harbour Air is set to expand its network in British Columbia after announcing an agreement to acquire Pacific Coastal Airlines.
Under the deal, both airlines will continue to operate under their own brands and maintain separate identities. However, their combined fleet will grow to 59 aircraft.
The newly formed regional airline group will connect 25 communities across B.C., operating nearly 300 flights a day and providing passengers with improved connectivity.
According to reports, the two airlines together employ around 900 people in British Columbia. The companies will also remain Canadian-owned.
Harbour Air operates seaplanes, while Pacific Coastal Airlines operates conventional wheeled aircraft. The new group will be headquartered in Vancouver.
