VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – BC’s biggest float plane operator is moving into a new location in Coal Harbour, but it will cost you a little more to fly with them.
Harbour Air has agreed to move 200 feet east into the new Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre but CEO Greg McDougall says you will have to pay a passenger levy.
“Initially it was between $12 and $12.50 but there was some concessions made on different sides and now it’s $9.50,” he explains.
Harbour Air had refused to move in because of the centre’s high rent and passenger fee but will now build an extension to the centre’s docks.
McDougall says there was also safety concerns.
Dana Hayden, the CEO of PavCo, the Crown agency which runs the new convention centre, says they are glad to have the dispute settled.
“With the agreements we have negotiated jointly, we will be able to end the legal cases Vancouver Flight Centre had against PavCo,” she says.
