About Cascadia Air:

Cascadia Air was a new commuter airline, operating passenger flights between airports within the Vancouver and Lower Mainland Area of the Canadian province of British Columbia. As well as offering charter flights, the airline also operated a small number of scheduled passenger flights.

Cascadia Air was owned and operated by Cascadia Northern Air Inc. Established in 2019, the airline was initially forced to delay its launch in March 2020 as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. The airline operated commuter flights between business hubs within British Columbia, as well as operated flights popular with tourists and skiers. Destinations included: Abbotsford, Campbell River and Chilliwack.

In September 2021, the growing airline announced that it would be expanding its route network further, with flights between Vancouver and Penticton. The airline also had plans to introduce more routes in 2022.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
