Small corporate turboprop in YVR

Post by LegoMan »

Anyone know of a good charter operation out of YVR with small corporate turboprops? I need to charter a plane to Kelowna for the day. PC-12, King Air 100 or anything else of that size.

Sounds like a job for NT Air or Pacific Coastal, if it has to be a turboprop.

Both Blackcomb and Opus have mustangs as well, I may be talking out my a%^, but I would think the cost ( but not capacity) would be similar to a King Air.

Check out Orca Air out of south terminal. Seems they now have BE100,BE200 and a 1900.

Didnt orca pick up CAC? hence the addition of the BE10 and BE20? Where did the 1900 come from? C or D model?

They bought out Airspeed and their 414s a couple of years back, but I'm pretty sure they didn't buy CAC. As far as I'm aware they don't operate any turbines, and the only 1900s on the south side are Pasco's.

I also heard that they bought out CAC...and would explain the King Air... the 1900 is news to me, I actually only thought they had the one King Air 100.

Orca have bought CAC and are merging at the moment. They have a 100, 200 but no 1900.

When did Orca buy CAC?? I just went to CAC website and there's nothing about being sold. I dont think CAC has been sold.

Too bad CAC is gone. Owner was a good guy. I hope employees continue to be treated well by Orca owners.

The 1900 is news to anyone that works there. There is no 1900. Maybe a sub charter to NT Air?
