Pacific Coastal Airlines is a regional Canadian carrier based in Richmond, British Columbia. Founded in 1987, the airline provides scheduled passenger service to numerous communities across British Columbia, with a focus on routes that are underserved or inaccessible by other modes of transport. The airline operates primarily from Vancouver International Airport's South Terminal, linking smaller coastal and interior communities to the province's main hub. Pacific Coastal also offers charter services and has historically played an important role in supporting resource industries, remote communities, and tourism in the region. As a privately held regional carrier, Pacific Coastal Airlines has grown steadily over the decades while maintaining a strong focus on safety and community connectivity in one of Canada's most geographically challenging provinces.
