VICTORIA - Flights on a seaplane airline operating out of Vancouver and Vancouver Island are back in the air after a bomb threat grounded service earlier in the day.
Harbour Air Seaplanes stopped service after the airline received an early-morning telephone bomb threat.
The airline grounded service in Vancouver, Richmond, Langley, Victoria and Nanaimo after it received the threat from somewhere in the Vancouver area.
Company senior vice-president Randy Wright says hundreds of passengers had their flight plans delayed as the company took its 60 airplanes out of service.
Victoria police brought in a police dog and a marine vessel to search the harbour.
There were no reports of any bomb being found.
