Fort Nelson air connectivity will start up again according to Central Mountain Air.
Regular scheduled flight services from Prince George to Fort Nelson will be picking up sooner than initially planned, with the first flight planned for Thursday, February 18th.
The remote community of about 3,400, situated in the northeast corner of the province, had air service from several routes cut off last week, causing concerns from locals.
Service will re-start with two flights a week, with a plan to grow frequency when demand increases.
Central Mountain Air mentions regional government officials and the Fort Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce advocated strongly for this.
The result has been that the provincial and federal governments worked through an approach to enable Central Mountain Air to continue to provide air service connectivity to Fort Nelson.
