Olympic Update
The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are fast approaching. The Olympics will add increased security to the seaplane industry from January 29th, 2010 to March 24th, 2010.
All of Seairs scheduled and charter flights originate within the Olympic Control Area, making security screening a requirement. The Canadian Air Transport Security Agency will provide screening in temporary facilities adjacent to our facilities at Richmond-Vancouver Airport and Nanaimo-Departure Bay. All of our flights returning to Richmond-Vancouver Airport from the Gulf Islands will be screened at a portable screening unit at Ganges Harbour.
Passenger screening requirements will necessitate a change in our check-in time. For the period starting January 29, 2010 and ending March 3, 2010 passenger check-in time will be 1 hour prior to their flights scheduled departure time.
Passengers must have Government issued, photo identification ready for presentation at check-in. Passport recommended.
All Scheduled flights times to and from Nanaimo-Departure Bay will remain as published.
Gulf Island Scheduled departure times from Vancouver Airport will remain as published along with all Gulf Island pick-up times. Arrival times in Vancouver will be 30 minutes later due to the necessity of screening all passengers before entering the Olympic Control Area. These will be in effect for the morning, noon and evening flights during the Olympics.
