Kenmore Air (many destinations in southern British Columbia and northwest Washington)

Kenmore Air was founded in 1946 by three high school friends, reunited after World War II. With one airplane, and a single hangar near a swamp at the North end of Lake Washington (Seattle), Bob Munro, Reg Collins, and Jack Mines gave birth to what was to become the largest and most respected seaplane airline in the world. In 2003 Kenmore Air started an all weather wheel plane passenger and cargo service (Kenmore Air Express) based out of the Boeing Field airport. This new services adds reliable all weather day/night flights to several Puget Sound destinations and also Campbell River BC.

Operating a fleet of 25 seaplanes (based at the north end of Lake Washington) and 5 wheel planes based at Boeing Field, Kenmore logs over 3.5 million air miles annually, and carries more than 140,000 passengers. And unique among all airlines, Kenmore is renowned for its superior expertise in plane maintenance and construction.
