Pacific Coastal Airlines today announced it will be resuming service between Cranbrook (YXC) and Kelowna (YLW) effective September 12.

“Pacific Coastal Airlines is excited to resume service between Cranbrook and Kelowna. We have received significant customer feedback requesting the return of this 55-minute non-stop flight,” stated Johnathan Richardson, Pacific Coastal Airlines’ Vice President of Customer & Commercial Services.

“I’m once again delighted to see Pacific Coastal Airlines commitment in the East Kootenay air travel market. In 2013, Pacific Coastal Airlines connected the East Kootenay and the Okanagan with direct non-stop air service to Kelowna, essential for health services, tourism and business development.

“Today’s announcement to resume this service is cause for great celebration,” said Tristen Chernove, CEO of Elevate Airports Inc., which operates YXC.

 “We are so pleased to see this route with Pacific Coastal return between Kelowna and Cranbrook. It is important that we are able to once again provide these regional connections for B.C. residents,” added Sam Samaddar Kelowna Airport Director.

The non-stop flight service will operate three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, using the 19-passenger pressurized turboprop Beech 1900. The aircraft offers comfortable seating, six-foot cabin height, and generous cargo capacity.
