Island Express Air was a small Canadian airline based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Its first flight was on August 7, 2009, as part of the Abbotsford International Airshow.[1] It operated scheduled air service between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, as well as charter flights and cargo service. On February 23, 2018, one of their planes, a King Air B100, crashed at Abbotsford Airport (CYXX) immediately after take-off in blizzard conditions.[2] As a result of this accident, and due to public safety concerns, Transport Canada suspended Island Express' air operator's certificate (AOC) shortly thereafter, on February 28, 2018.[3] However, following a robust review of the company's safety procedures the operating certificate was reinstated on June 26, 2018.[4] The company slogan was Your Island Connection.

In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Island Express Air ceased operations and sold its assets to a group of investors.[5]
