Salt Spring Air

[5] Scheduled flights by the company also operate between the Gulf Islands and the Vancouver International Airport.

[6] In June 2003, St. Clair McColl started Salt Spring Air, with local seaplane services based on the Gulf Islands with a four-seat Cessna 185.

Since then, with the introduction of de Havilland Beavers in 2004, the company's fleet has grown to four planes operating six scheduled flights from Salt Spring Island to Vancouver, and other scheduled flights fly to various other locations on the Gulf Islands.

[7] During what began as a routine flight on March 19, 2007, McColl rescued a father and son from the frigid waters of the Strait of Georgia after a passenger noticed their capsized boat and notified McColl.

The pilot and his two passengers were later honoured by the Lifesaving Society of British Columbia for the rescue.
