Cascadia Airways is looking to bring scheduled flights to Vernon Regional Airport.

In a letter seeking city support, Cascadia COO Jeremy Barrett says the carrier has been working with communities to provide scheduled air taxi service into smaller municipal airports.

"ln order for scheduled services to be granted as part of a company's air operating certificate, they need to have a letter of support from the authority of the airport(s) to submit with the application to Transport Canada for it to be added onto the AOC for scheduled points," says Barrett.

The company has engaged with Vernon Economic Development and area resorts to provide additional charter services into Vernon.

"We believe that we would be also able to operate a scheduled service between Vancouver and Vernon on regular basis," says Barrett, who says he would like to start offering flights "as soon as possible."
