Pasific Coastal Airlines

Pacific Coastal Airlines (IATA: 8P, ICAO: PCO) is a regional airline headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1979, the carrier operates from its primary hub at Vancouver International Airport South Terminal, serving 18–19 destinations across British Columbia.

The airline maintains a fleet of 27 aircraft, including turboprops and specialized seaplanes. This mix of Saab 340s, Beechcraft 1900s, and de Havilland Beavers reflects Pacific Coastal's role as a regional connector for communities across British Columbia, including remote and coastal destinations that larger carriers do not serve efficiently.

Pacific Coastal's network focuses on point-to-point service within the province, connecting smaller cities and towns to Vancouver and to each other. The airline's fleet composition demonstrates its specialization: larger turboprops for regional hops, and amphibious aircraft for waterfront communities, making it essential for regional air transport in western Canada.
