NorthStar Air Tours flew a small contingent from the San Juan Islands tourism industry to Victoria B.C. on Monday, May 14 to promote NorthStar’s new service between Victoria and both Orcas and San Juan Islands.

The group met with travel agents and exhibited at the annual Victoria Tourism Showcase. They enjoyed their first-hand experience on NorthStar and the YYJ Airporter Shuttle into downtown Victoria.

The 12-minute flights start at just $49 each way.
