The shuttle bus that takes Pacific Coastal Airlines passengers to Penticton when planes can’t get in and out of Trail was used twice last month.
Airport manager Enrico Moehrle told city council this week there were eight flight cancellations in Trail overall in October: two due to planned maintenance by Pacific Coastal, and the rest weather-related.
The shuttle service only comes in to play when both daily flights are cancelled. The two shuttles going from Trail to Penticton and back had a total of 86 passengers combined. The shuttle is available from October to March.
The Trail airport saw a total of 1,990 inbound and outbound passengers last month, up from 1,937 in October 2024.
