Harmony Airways Company Info
Harmony Airways is a full-service, scheduled airline with authentic, attentive, and professional staff offering direct flights between Vancouver, Toronto, Honolulu, Maui, Las Vegas and Palm Springs plus seasonal service to Hawaii from Calgary, Kelowna, Abbotsford, and Victoria. Our mission is to bring comfort and value back to your travel experience by delivering genuine customer service at competitive rates. Every flight. Every day.
The airline was launched in November 2002 as HMY Airways, an abbreviation for Harmony Airways. The owner, Dr. David T.K. Ho, is an energetic Canadian entrepreneur born and raised in Hong Kong who earned a doctorate degree in Commercial Science from the University of Richmond in Virginia. Dr. Ho started Harmony because he was dissatisfied with the service he experienced on other airlines. “When I travel, I’m most impressed by an airline’s people,” he says. “After all, people are the most valuable resource inside any organization.”
Exceptional Customer Service
Known today as Harmony Airways, the rapidly growing airline has four Boeing 757 aircraft that fly between Vancouver, Toronto, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Honolulu, and Maui, with winter non-stop service from Abbotsford, Victoria, Kelowna, and Calgary to Hawaii.
Our launch of a Vancouver-based airline means that decisions are made close to home and in the best interest of our passengers. Every facet of the Harmony Airways operation is aimed at providing exceptional customer service and added value at affordable rates. Harmony offers no- charge advance seat selection, complimentary full meal service – including a choice of hot meals on most flights – complimentary beverages, and in-flight entertainment. Through its sister tour operator, Harmony Vacations, Harmony Airways also offers accommodation, package tours and other ground arrangements to all our vacation destinations.
