Tofino Air is a small Canadian airline offering floatplane service from Tofino, British Columbia.〔(Scheduled Flights )〕 Tofino Air offers scheduled services, scenic tours, and specialized charters.〔(Tofino Air Tours )〕 ==History== In the early 1990s, the owner of Tofino Air, and a lifelong resident of British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, started a small regional airline called "Midcoast Air," to better assure safety and dependability for himself and his co-workers as they travelled from the logging and fishing camps on BC's west coast, to their homes on the Sunshine Coast. In 1998, Midcoast Air re-located to Sechelt. In January 2001, Tofino Air purchased Pacific Spirit Air based in Silva Bay on Gabriola Island. After purchasing Pacific Spirit Air, Tofino Air increased its daily routes by adding in scheduled flights from Gabriola Island to Vancouver International Water Airport. The airline also continued offering daily scheduled flights between Departure Bay in Nanaimo and Sechelt/Porpoise Bay. In April 2011, Tofino Air moved from its location in Departure Bay to Nanaimo Harbour where it began to offer scheduled flights between Nanaimo and Vancouver. In late May 2011, Tofino Air was one of the first airlines to move into the new Vancouver Harbour Water Airport, and began to offer Charter flights to Nanaimo, Sechelt and Tofino. In December 2014, Tofino Air started a new Subsidiary Airline called Gulf Island Seaplanes〔(Gulf Island Seaplanes )〕 to service the Gabriola Island to Vancouver International Water Airport using de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft leased from Tofino Air. In August 2015, Tofino Air dropped service from Nanaimo Harbour to Sechelt/Porpoise Bay and a new Subsidiary Airline called Sunshine Coast Air〔(Sunshine Coast Air )〕 took over all service using de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft leased from Tofino Air, while Tofino Air now only offers scenic tours, and specialized charters from Tofino. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tofino Air」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
