Present and Past

Airlines Destinations
Kenmore Air Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, Port Angeles

Historically, Boeing Field had scheduled passenger air service provided by West Coast Airlines which operated Douglas DC-9 jet and Fairchild F-27 propjet service from the airport. West Coast operated flights to various destinations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington State as well as operating direct service to northern California, western Montana and northern Utah. Direct service was also flown to Calgary, Alberta in western Canada. West Coast merged with Pacific Air Lines and Bonanza Air Lines to form Air West which then continued to provide passenger air service from Boeing Field until all operations were eventually moved to Seattle/Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Air West subsequently became Hughes Airwest.

Aeroamerica also provided scheduled passenger service at one point with Boeing 720 jetliner flights to Spokane.

In later years, Helijet, a helicopter airline based at the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in British Columbia, Canada, operated scheduled passenger flights with Sikorsky S-76 helicopters to the Victoria heliport in British Columbia with continuing service to Helijet's Vancouver heliport located adjacent to downtown Vancouver, B.C.

Famous quotes containing the words present and and/or present:

    Anxiety is not fear, being afraid of this or that definite object, but the uncanny feeling of being afraid of nothing at all. It is precisely Nothingness that makes itself present and felt as the object of our dread.
    William Barrett (b. 1913)

    At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
