Due to the ongoing closure of Highway 4 on Vancouver Island, Helijet International, a Richmond-based company will begin limited passenger helicopter service between Nanaimo and Port Alberni on a Monday-to Friday-basis starting next week (June 19 to 23).

  • 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.

As this is a specially scheduled service, scheduling and other details are subject to change by Helijet as the travelling status of Highway 4 evolves. Up-to-date flight information is available by calling Helijet reservations at 1.800.665.4354.
