Airport contact
One of the southern Gulf Islands' seaplane docks, the Miners Bay facility is a public wharf owned and operated by the Capital Regional District rather than a certified airport — it holds only a Transport Canada Location Identifier (CAW7), not a full ICAO code. Seair Seaplanes provides scheduled floatplane service to Vancouver's YVR South Terminal, with the dock also used by charter and private operators serving this small island community.

Seair Seaplanes
Seair Seaplanes operates multiple scheduled daily seaplane flights to the Mayne Island (Miners Bay) dock from its Richmond (YVR) base, part of its Gulf Islands network; the carrier keeps no office or ground staff at this remote stop, so the pilot greets passengers and handles luggage in place of a dedicated ground handling agent.
