Harbour Air Business: Up to 10% Back in Credits, Plus Aeroplan Points, for B.C. Small Businesses
Loading article…
On May 12, 2026, Harbour Air launched Harbour Air Connect, a corporate travel program for British Columbia businesses. Its centrepiece, Harbour Air Business, is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises: signup is free and self-serve. On every eligible flight, the business earns Business Credits worth 3% to 10% of the base fare. Travellers, for their part, earn Harbour Air Club credits and Aeroplan points.
For a small business that often sends staff between Vancouver and Victoria by seaplane, that is three rewards on the same ticket. The details come from the Harbour Air news release, the Harbour Air Connect page and the Harbour Air Business program page.
Harbour Air Connect at a glance
Harbour Air Connect brings together two corporate travel programs:
- Harbour Air Business: for small and medium-sized enterprises. Online signup, with no minimum spend and no commitment.
- Harbour Air Corporate: for larger businesses, with negotiated pricing, dedicated reporting and an account manager. You join by contacting the sales team.
Both give access to Harbour Air's network: up to 200 daily flights, including Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Whistler and Seattle. The May news release mentioned 15 destinations; as of November 2026, the program page lists 13.
Three rewards on every flight
From day one, every eligible flight booked through the company account earns three things:
- Business Credits for the company, redeemable on all fare classes.
- Harbour Air Club credits for the traveller, on every flight.
- Aeroplan points for the traveller, on eligible flights.
All three accrue automatically on every booking, according to Harbour Air. The number of Aeroplan points depends on the fare purchased: we break down that earning chart in our article on redeeming Aeroplan points on Harbour Air.
The 3 Harbour Air Business tiers
The credit rate rises with the company's annual travel spend. Here are the tiers published on the program page:
| Tier | Credit on base fare | Annual travel spend required | Added benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 3% | None (from signup) | Business Credits, Harbour Air Club credits, Aeroplan points on eligible flights, weather rebooking priority, portal, tier progress dashboard and reports |
| Tier 2 | 6% | $5,000 per year | Tier 1 benefits, 1 free name change per booking, tactical offers and promotions |
| Tier 3 | 10% | $15,000 per year | Tier 2 benefits, unlimited free name changes, priority boarding, dedicated account manager pathway |
What small businesses also get
Beyond rewards, Harbour Air Business gives management tools to companies that don't have a travel department:
- a self-serve portal to manage bookings and travellers;
- a dashboard showing progress toward the next tier;
- downloadable travel reports;
- weather rebooking priority when a flight is cancelled.
According to Harbour Air, the account is live as soon as signup is complete, which takes about two minutes. You can add travellers at any time.
"Harbour Air Business is about making sure every business, regardless of size, has access to a corporate travel program that actually works for them," said Chris Fordyce, Chief Commercial Officer at Harbour Air
Who can sign up
The program is open to businesses registered and operating in British Columbia, including sole traders, partnerships and corporations. Travel agencies, ticket brokerages, air fare consolidators and government entities are not eligible. Neither are businesses that already have a bespoke corporate incentive or discount agreement with Harbour Air.
A small business based in Quebec or Ontario therefore can't join, even if its employees often fly on the West Coast. Its travellers can still earn Aeroplan points on eligible Harbour Air tickets.
Our take
For a B.C. small business that regularly sends people between Vancouver and Victoria, signup is free and comes with no commitment, so there is little reason to skip it. Tier 1 already returns 3% of the base fare in credits. From $5,000 in annual spend, the credit doubles to 6%.
The real upside is stacking. The company keeps its credits, and the employee earns their own Aeroplan points. If the ticket is paid with an Aeroplan business credit card, a fourth layer of rewards comes on top.
