Harbour Air launches Seattle-Victoria seaplane service

Harbour Air began daily summer seaplane flights between Seattle and Victoria on June 11, adding a new cross-border route that cuts travel time to about 30 minutes. Introductory fares start at C$99 one way, with the service running through Sept. 30.

Why it matters: - Harbour Air is adding a new cross-border option for travelers moving between Seattle and Victoria. - The route gives passengers a direct seaplane link into downtown Victoria in under 30 minutes. - The service adds another travel choice for family visits, tourism and business travel in the Pacific Northwest.

What happened: - Harbour Air launched its first Seattle-to-Victoria flight on June 11, 2026. - The route is scheduled to run daily during the summer season. - Service runs from June 11, 2026 to Sept. 30, 2026. - Introductory fares start at C$99 one way, or about US$72 at the exchange rate cited in the release.

The details: - The flight time is about 30 minutes. - Harbour Air said the route reflects its focus on improved connectivity, more choice and everyday low fares. - The new Victoria service complements Harbour Air’s existing double-daily Seattle-to-Vancouver route. - The airline says customers can learn more and book flights at Harbour Air. - The introductory fare offer is limited quantity, charged in Canadian dollars, and must be booked by June 18, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT. - The promotional fares apply to travel between June 25 and Sept. 30, 2026. - Aeroplan members earn points on eligible Harbour Air flights, including cross-border routes, with up to 200 points per flight depending on fare class.

Between the lines: - The launch extends Harbour Air’s network beyond its existing Seattle-Vancouver link and deepens its Pacific Northwest footprint. - Victoria is positioning the route as an economic and tourism win, not just a transportation upgrade. - The fast downtown arrival is the main differentiator versus conventional ferry or land-based travel.

What’s next: - Harbour Air will operate the Seattle-Victoria route through the end of September unless the airline extends it later. - The company’s broader Pacific Northwest schedule remains centered on hubs in Vancouver and Victoria. - Travelers who want the introductory fare need to book before the June 18 cutoff or while seats last.
