Who we are

Founded in 1982 with two small seaplanes, Harbour Air is North America’s largest seaplane airline.

Harbour Air is owned by Birch Hill Equity Partners.

On September 15, 2026, Harbour Air announced an agreement to acquire Pacific Coastal Airlines, forming a new regional airline group serving communities across Western Canada; the deal is subject to regulatory approval.
