Pacific Coastal Airlines is ready to resume service at the Campbell River Airport.
The public terminal is set to reopen on June 2nd with two flights on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
“Campbell River’s airport provides a vital connection for essential medical and business travel,” says Mayor Andy Adams. “To be able to gradually resume regular service is a testament to the fact that we have kept the number of COVID-19 cases low.”
“But we are not on the other side of this pandemic yet. We must all continue to stay vigilant about handwashing, maintaining physical distance, monitoring our health and isolating ourselves from others if we are sick,” Adams says.
To ensure appropriate physical distancing in the terminal building, access will be restricted to passengers and staff.
And, until further notice, all passengers must wear a face mask when entering the security screening area and during flights.
There will be no changes to curbside passenger drop off or parking in designated areas.
“COVID-19 circumstances and updates continue to occur frequently at this time, and we wish to assure the travelling public that the City of Campbell River is monitoring and adjusting where necessary, with public and employee safety as our top priority,” adds city manager Deborah Sargent.
Both Tuesdays and Thursdays, the airport terminal building will be open to the public from 7am until 6pm.
The first flight will arrive at 8:30am and depart at 8:50am, with the second flight arriving at 4:45pm and departing at 5:05pm.
