Shortest Commercial Flight Ever
My recent business trip to Nanaimo, British Columbia meant that I took one of the shortest commercial flights in North America. The 12-minute flight between Vancouver (YVR) and Nanaimo's (YCD) tiny airport is undertaken about a half-dozen times daily by an Air Canada Jazz DH-8 shown below.
In terms of distance, it's just 30 miles between the two airports, which are separated by the Strait of Georgia. I could have taken a 2-hour ferry across the strait, but the quick flight was my preferred method of getting from Vancouver to Vancouver Island.
