Pacific Coastal Airlines is bringing the Kootenays back into its network with the much-anticipated return of service to Cranbrook (YXC), beginning October 27. This marks the airline’s 20th destination and re-establishes year-round daily non-stop flights between Cranbrook and Kelowna (YLW), using their reliable 19-seat Beechcraft 1900 aircraft.
The new route not only reconnects the East Kootenay with the sunny Okanagan, but also unlocks convenient one-stop connections to Vancouver Island destinations including Nanaimo, Victoria, and Comox. This expanded network provides enhanced travel options for both leisure and business travellers throughout southern B.C.
To celebrate the return, Pacific Coastal is offering 20% off flights between Cranbrook and Kelowna—and onward to Nanaimo, Victoria, and Comox. Use promo code YXC20 when booking at flights.pacificcoastal.com by August 20.
This announcement is welcome news for Fernie-area residents and businesses, with Cranbrook Airport (YXC) just over an hour away. Improved regional connectivity means easier access to family, adventure, and opportunity throughout the province.
