The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority says it is “certainly possible” that rules surrounding seaplanes operating in the city’s downtown harbour could change in light of an aircraft colliding with a pleasure boat on takeoff over the weekend.
Sean Baxter, the authority’s acting director of marine operations, says they’ve been advising boats to steer clear of the aircraft operation zone in Coal Harbour for many years, but it’s ultimately up to boat operators to “decide whether or not they go in.”
