Victoria's Inner Harbour was abuzz Monday with the hum of electric motors as Harbour Air showed off its state of the art electric seaplane.

The company may soon become the first in the world to offer flights in an electric-powered commercial aircraft."A lot of blood, sweat and tears go into it," said Harbour Air CEO and test pilot Greg McDougall.

The milestone flights, from terminal to terminal, are designed to prove that the e-plane can meet rigorous Transport Canada rules to be certified. He expects that certification to happen in about two years, after being delayed by the pandemic and supply chain issues.
