Key Takeaways:
Kenmore Air will resume daily flights between Seattle, Washington, and British Columbia, with service to Victoria starting April 1 and Vancouver on May 1, after a two-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This resumption is made possible by the reopening of Canadian airports and the relaxation of COVID-19 travel restrictions, though travelers still require proof of vaccination, a current passport (ArriveCAN app recommended), and must wear masks on aircraft.
The airline plans a phased return, initially offering two flights per day and increasing to four daily flights between Seattle and both Victoria and Vancouver by June, marking 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.
