Tofino Air

About Tofino Air

Tofino Air's founder and longtime resident of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast started a small regional air carrier called Midcoast Air to improve safety and reliability for him and his colleagues as they traveled from the BC's west coast logging and fishing camps to their Sunshine Coast homes. Midcoast Air was re-located from Vancouver to Sechelt in 1998.

Tofino Air acquired Pacific Spirit Air in January 2001. It was based on Gabriola Island. Tofino Air expanded its daily routes after purchasing Pacific Spirit Air. They added scheduled flights from Gabriola Island, to Vancouver International Water Airport. The airline continued to offer daily scheduled flights between Departure Bay and Sechelt/Porpoise Bay.

Tofino Air moved its Departure bay location to the Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome in April 2011. It began to offer scheduled flights between Nanaimo, and the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre. Tofino Air moved into Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre late May 2011. All flights from Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre were cancelled. Charter flights are conducted at Vancouver International Water Airport.
