It will be a historic flight in Campbell River today.

Sealand Flight will be conducting Canada’s first-ever commercial flight in an electric aircraft.

The introductory flight lesson marks the first time in Canada that a person can purchase a commercial flight in an electric aircraft, with more students - from introductory to solo flight training - already signed up for lessons.

The students will eventually transition to classical internal combustion engine aircraft for the remainder of their training, representing the first phase of Transport Canada’s electric aircraft evaluation.
