Harbour Air’s electric plane, which could be offering passenger service between the Island and the mainland two years from now, is making its first visit to Victoria Harbour.
The company is also seeking a task force to co-ordinate efforts to certify electric aircraft through federal officials and Harbour Air working together. A Transport Canada test pilot will be working with Harbour Air shortly to verify specs on the aircraft. Harbour Air is working with battery companies Electric Power Systems of Utah, and H55 of Switzerland, which is building a plant in Quebec.
Initial passenger service would likely be offered between Richmond and Nanaimo and Richmond and Victoria. Scenic tours could be offered, too, McDougall said.
