Key Takeaways:
Kenmore Air is resuming daily flights between Seattle and British Columbia (Victoria and Vancouver) in April and May, ending a two-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The resumption is possible thanks to the reopening of Canadian airports and relaxed COVID-19 testing requirements, though proof of vaccination, passports, and masks on board are still mandatory for travelers.
The airline plans a phased return, starting with two flights per day and aiming for four daily flights by June, which is seen as a significant step towards normalcy for 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.
