Victoria to Vancouver is one of Canada's shortest, yet busiest commercial air routes.
One oddity on this route is Air North's Boeing 737, which flies it as part of a triangle routing, flying Whitehorse-Victoria-Vancouver-Whitehorse.
With just 63 kilometres between airports, is this Canada's shortest commercial 737 flight?
Thanks to Brandon Siska for the thumbnail photo!

The gulf islands always look spectacular from an aircraft, I love the flight from YEG to YYJ.

Not the first carrier with jet service Victoria-Vancouver. Air Canada, CP Air and Pacific Western all operated jets on that route at various times in the past. AC has used the DC-9, A320 and even a DC-8 for a year or so in the 1970s. The stretch DC=8-61 operated Toronto-Vancouver-Victoria, spent the night in Victoria, and returned via the same route the next morning. The aircraft was probably bigger than the Victoria terminal building then. CP Air and Pacific Western both used 737-200s.

Flew this route in 2019 with WestJet in a Dash-8 Q400. I timed it at 14 minutes take off to touch down. I'm guessing departing on 09 at YYJ saved us a few minutes. Stunning views of the Gulf Islands and Point Roberts. At YVR I transferred onto a BA A380 for a nine hour flight to LHR which was quite a contrast!

Victoria airport looking good as always, reasons why Yyj Is best medium sized airport in NA

VIctoria is my home airport. Nice to see you were able to travel to Victoria last summer. The views on that short little flight are amazing. I would think Vancouver to Nanaimo is a pretty short flight too.

That was a cool video. Fun to see this kind of report compared to some of the long and mundane ones from other reporters. Thanks for your efforts.

This was a fantastic review, Air North has a decent looking product and YYJ to YVR is certainly a fun route to fly! Nice

Great work, Alex! I’ve stayed at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria. It was so easy to fall in love with the hotel and with the city.

@marsgal42 3 года назад

Nice video, as always. I've been to YYJ many times. Held short 27 at Sierra (

Cool stuff, I saw GANH yesterday at YYJ and I thought this report was on board that flight, until I saw it was filmed in Aug 20. 😂

Awesome 2020 Trip Report Alex keep going.

Wow the pilots only flew 4000ft. The views out of Victoria looked amazing. Excellent work Alex!

Contrary to popular belief, summers in SW BC are generally sunny and cloud-free late June 'til early September.

Most times I have taken this flight it is generally a Dash turboprop.

Flew through YYJ a while ago; absolutely lovely mid sized airport. Feels so much more pleasant than my home airport of YLW, probably thanks to the high ceilings and plentiful windows.

Back in the sixties, I took several of these Victoria <> YVR hops on the AC Vickers Viscounts.

Doesn't Air North Fly between Nanaimo And Vancouver sometimes?

@brianaxelson5545 3 года назад

Although not a scheduled flight that the public can travel on, Canadian North Airlines flies between Horizon and Albian airports in Northern Alberta with a B737. In visual weather conditions and depending on the wind conditions it can be as short as 7 mins in the air. The distance is 34nm from CYVR to CYYJ, whereas CYNR to CAL4 is 13nm.
