๐ข Terminal Information
Regional airport serving northern Vancouver Island.
๐ Connection Tips
Port Hardy Airport serves as northern Vancouver Island's primary aviation gateway, located 5.2 nautical miles southeast of Port Hardy at Hardy Bay. Pacific Coastal Airlines provides the sole scheduled service with direct flights to Vancouver (YVR) - a 212-mile, 1 hour 10 minute journey operating roughly 62 monthly flights (14 weekly). All connections to domestic and international destinations route through Vancouver International Airport's South Terminal. The airport operates as a Transport Canada facility with terminal hours 7 AM to 8 PM daily, while administration runs Monday-Friday 8 AM to 4 PM. Coastal weather patterns create significant operational challenges - fog patches regularly form overnight and dissipate in mornings, while winters bring persistent rain, drizzle, and overcast skies with temperatures ranging 36ยฐF to 65ยฐF. Pacific Coastal Airlines frequently experiences weather-related delays due to these coastal conditions. The airport is classified as an airport of entry with CBSA services for general aviation aircraft (15 passengers maximum). For missed connections, coordinate with Pacific Coastal's counter during operating hours. Campbell River (YBL) serves as the nearest alternative airport. Weather delays are common during winter months - always build buffer time into travel plans and monitor conditions closely. Pacific Coastal also operates affiliated Wilderness Seaplanes services from Port Hardy for additional coastal destinations.
