Quesnel Caught Off Guard by Pacific Coastal Service Suspension
Customers affected by the route cancellation will receive full refunds as Pacific Coastal Airlines reworks its network priorities.
- On Friday, June 12, 2026, Pacific Coastal Airlines will suspend its scheduled flights between Vancouver International Airport's South Terminal and Quesnel Airport, ending the route launched Oct. 30, 2025.
- Pacific Coastal Airlines president Quentin Smith cited "poor passenger numbers" and "broader commercial and network strategic considerations" for suspending service to strengthen the airline's long-term sustainability.
- Mayor Ron Paull said the announcement arrived late on May 27, catching city officials off guard. "It was very surprising to us, and they didn't really give us much warning," Paull explained.
- Despite the suspension, Quesnel remains served by Central Mountain Air. Paull confirmed the airport advisory committee will discuss the service change at a meeting next week.
- City officials hope Pacific Coastal will return once fuel prices stabilize. "Our door is always open and the welcome mat is always out for them to come back," Paull said.
