Flying Forward: How Sea to Sky Air Is Redefining Sustainable Adventure

What It Means to Fly with Heart

When you board a flight with Sea to Sky Air, you’re doing more than sightseeing—you’re joining us on an experience that blends adventure, education, and respect for nature.

Based here in Squamish, we offer scenic flights throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor, from Vancouver to Whistler. Together, we soar above the fjords of Howe Sound, volcanic parklands, and glacial peaks that define this incredible region.

We believe adventure should do more than thrill—it should inspire care for the environment. Our goal is to help people feel connected, renewed, and inspired by the land they explore.

In the growing world of sustainable tourism in BC, we’re proud to stand out. We don’t just offer views—we offer perspective.

Our Carbon Journey

Flying has an environmental cost, and we don’t shy away from that fact. Instead, we face it with honesty and action.

Since 2021, we’ve operated as a carbon-neutral company, offsetting all direct and indirect emissions. Our Climate Action Plan is built on three clear steps: Measure, Reduce, and Offset.

  • Measure: We track every emission—from aircraft fuel to office operations.
  • Reduce: We improve fuel efficiency, streamline flight routes, and make smart energy choices.
  • Offset: For emissions that can’t yet be eliminated, we invest in verified carbon credits.

Our goals are ambitious yet achievable:

  • 5% reduction in per-passenger emissions in the short term
  • 50% reduction by 2030
  • 90% reduction by 2050

To us, carbon offset aviation isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Real change starts with accountability and transparency.

Community Over Competition

Sustainability isn’t something we can do alone—it depends on connection: with people, with place, and with purpose.

Operating in the heart of Squamish, we know that running a business here means protecting the landscape that makes it possible. Our scenic flights do more than showcase beauty; they tell stories about local ecology, geology, and Indigenous heritage.

Guests leave not just amazed by the view, but with a deeper understanding of the land’s significance.

Across British Columbia, sustainable tourism is about balance—protecting ecosystems while supporting local communities. We contribute to that balance through education, meaningful partnerships, and community collaboration.

For us, it’s not about competition. It’s about connection—helping every part of the Sea to Sky community thrive together.

How Guests Can Help

You don’t have to be a pilot to make a difference. Every traveller plays a role in sustainable tourism. Here’s how you can help:

  1. Choose transparent operators. Book tours with companies that share their sustainability goals and carbon data.
  2. Ask questions. Curiosity drives progress—ask how we measure emissions or what projects your flight supports.
  3. Fly mindfully. Travel light, avoid unnecessary flights, and focus on quality over quantity.
  4. Respect the landscape. The fjords and glaciers below are living ecosystems—treat them with care, both from the air and on the ground.
  5. Share what you learn. Talk about your experience and inspire others to travel responsibly.
  6. Support local initiatives. Dine at local restaurants, shop at small businesses, and contribute to conservation programs.

Every choice helps create a ripple effect. When travellers act responsibly, tourism becomes a tool for good.

Why Sustainable Flight Always Matters

Sustainability in aviation isn’t a passing phase—it’s a lasting responsibility. Whether you fly today or years from now, our goal remains the same: to explore with care. At Sea to Sky Air, we’re showing how adventure and accountability can coexist. Our commitment to carbon-neutral operations, local partnerships, and open communication sets an example for what aviation can be.

When guests choose eco-friendly scenic flights, they encourage more operators to follow this path. Every booking becomes a vote for a cleaner, more conscious form of adventure. At its heart, sustainable tourism reminds us that travel should protect the places it celebrates. Respect, education, and preservation never go out of style. By protecting these landscapes today, we ensure future generations can experience them just as we do.

Every flight can be more than a journey—it can be a commitment to nature, community, and the future. Book your flight today and experience sustainability in action.
