We at Sable Aviation feel privileged to provide fixed-wing aircraft charter service to Sable Island, a delicate crescent of sand located 300 km south-east of Halifax, NS. Since there is no airstrip on the island, our BN-2A Britten Norman Islander aircraft lands on the sandy expanse of the island's south beach.

Sable Island is a National Park Reserve, so Parks Canada has sole control over approving and scheduling visitor flights. To limit the number of visitors and protect Sable's delicate ecology, only one fixed wing visitor flight per week is approved, and only on the week-end, to avoid interfering with Station Operations. If you wish to visit Sable, you have two options - to organize a charter of the aircraft yourself, or buy a single seat on a flight that we have organized.

We have 4 flights in 2021 on which individual seats may be purchased - 3-Jul, 24-Jul, 25-Sep, and 23-Oct; all have been sold out, but we will maintain a standby list for each flight. If you have a seat on one of these flights, you do not need to contact Parks Canada - we will take care of permissions and payment of all fees.

To charter the entire aircraft to Sable Island, you must request a visitation date from Parks Canada. Visitor season runs from June through October, and unfortunately, in 2021, all of these dates have already been assigned. If you would like to be put on the standby list for the 2021 visitor season, please contact Parks Canada at pc.sable.pc@canada.ca or 902-426-1500.

We have created the Facebook group called Sable Island Aircraft Charter for those who have booked the entire aircraft but still need a person or two to fill up their group. This is also where we will post details about upcoming seat cancellations when/if they happen.

Groups that have chartered the entire aircraft must present a single payment for the flight - collection of a share of expenses is left up to the group leader, who is considered the charterer of the aircraft. Note that although it is acceptable for groups to share expenses, reselling of individual seats (i.e. at a profit) must be reported immediately to Sable Aviation, as additional fees and obligations will apply.
