Key Takeaways:
Kenmore Air will resume daily flights between Seattle, Washington, and British Columbia (Victoria and Vancouver) starting April 1 and May 1, respectively, after a two-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The return of service is possible due to the reopening of Canadian airports and recently relaxed COVID-19 testing requirements for travelers.
Passengers will still need to provide proof of vaccination, carry a current passport (ArriveCAN app recommended), and wear masks while on board the aircraft.
The resumption of Kenmore Air's iconic flights is viewed as a significant sign of spring and a rebound for tourism in the Pacific Northwest.
Next month, Kenmore Air will return to daily flights between Seattle, Washington, and British Columbia.
“We’ve been hunkered down for two years. It’s time to go out and have some fun—or better yet, go to the Butchart Gardens in Victoria and see them!” says Todd Banks, president and CEO of Kenmore Air.
