The Comox Valley Airport has celebrated the grand opening of On The Fly's Satellite Café.

Westjet passengers bound for Calgary were the first to be treated to some baked goods before flying out.

The café is part of the Terminal Enhancement Project made possible by the Federal Regional Air Transport Initiative (RATI).

Over $1 million in support has allowed the airport to restructure and enlarge the hold room and security screening areas to improve physical distancing and aid in safely increasing passenger volumes to support the economic recovery of Northern Vancouver Island.

The café will soon be stocked with regional items. It will feature many of the Island Good favourites, like fresh roasted, Creekmore Coffee, and will soon be adding beverages from Gladstone Brewery and Wayward Distillery.

Hours of the satellite café will vary, with an aim to be open during peak pre-flight hours.

The existing café and take out window remain open, 364 days a year.
