Due to the ongoing closure of Highway 4 on Vancouver Island, Helijet International will begin limited passenger helicopter service between Nanaimo and Port Alberni on a Monday-to-Friday basis starting Monday, June 19.
One roundtrip flight per day will be offered, leaving Helijet’s Nanaimo Heliport at 9:30 a.m. and arriving at the Port Alberni Airport approximately 20 minutes later (9:50 a.m.)
The same-day return flight departs Port Alberni Airport at 10:30 a.m. and arrives back in Nanaimo approximately 10:50 a.m.
Reservations for this special, essential service-based flight must be made by telephoning Helijet directly at 1-800-665-4354 (online reservations are not available for this flight).
One-way fare between Nanaimo and Port Alberni is $175.
