Harbour Air Seaplanes flying in and out of Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet are quite a sight to see. We got to witness a steady stream of arrivals and departures during rush hour this evening along the Vancouver waterfront. Harbour Air operates charter, scheduled, and tour seaplane operations from bases in Nanaimo, Vancouver, and Victoria to destinations in the Strait of Georgia, the Gulf Islands, and Whistler. Harbour Air Seaplanes began its life as Windoak Air Service back in 1982. That airline began flying as a provider of seaplane charter services in British Columbia for the logging industry. The airline expanded in 1993 with the purchase of Trans Provincial Airlines, and would later go on to change the airlines name to Harbour Air.
