Horizon Air to Serve Prince George

In the first scheduled international air service for Prince George, British Columbia, the economic and commercial hub for central and northern British Columbia, Horizon Air will provide nonstop service to Seattle starting May 1. The once-daily service, the airline’s seventh Canadian destination, will depart from Seattle at 1:20 p.m. and from Prince George at 3:45 p.m. The one-hour, 45-minuted flight will be operated with the airline's 76-seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft. With this flight, the region gains new, connections to U.S. destinations in the Pacific Northwest, California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida served by Horizon and sister company Alaska Airlines, as well as other destinations served from Seattle by their airline partners.
"Our region will enjoy access to the U.S. market for business and leisure travel," said Mayor Colin Kinsley. "Now, we look forward to familiarizing more of our U.S. neighbors with the wilderness, adventure and cultural experiences in Northern B.C., as well as the investment opportunities. There will be strong economic benefits from this new service." Located 471 miles (750 kilometers) north of Vancouver and situated at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers, Prince George is the largest city in Northern British Columbia.
