This Helijet S-76A, C-GHJW, operates scheduled services between the Vancouver Harbour Heliport and waterfront heliports in Victoria and Nanaimo. It carries titles for the Fairmont Hotel chain, with the name "Fairmont Waterfront" in Vancouver on the port side of the aircraft and "Fairmont Empress" in Victoria on the starboard sided of the helicopter.

Helijet started scheduled helicopter operations in November 1986 linking downtown Vancouver and Victoria. In early 2018, the company acquired three former offshore S-76C++ helicopters from PHI in Louisiana when it won new contracts to fly guests from Massett and Sandpit airports to remote salmon fishing resorts in Haida Gwaii (previously known as the Queen Charlotte Islands), an archipelago off BC's northwest coast. In 2022, Helijet started flying flying its S-76C++ on its scheduled passenger routes after partnering with Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. ("Blade"), replacing older S-76As.

Helijet used to dedicate its older Sikorsky S-76A's to its scheduled passenger service linking Vancouver Harbour with downtown Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. After Helijet entered into a commercial agreement with Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. ("Blade") in late 2021, many of the flights are now operated by the company's more powerful Sikorsky S-76C++ fleet. S-76C++ spent many years supporting offshore oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico with PHI as N790P before joining the Helijet fleet in March 2018.

Ascent Helicopters of Parksville, BC acquired this MD900 in October 2012 initially to work on high voltage power line maintenance contracts with BC Hydro, the provincial hydro electric power utility. The company was subsequently awarded an air ambulance contract from its base on Vancouver Island. The helicopter usually transfers island patients to hospitals in Nanaimo and Victoria. The MD900 also serves communities on the BC mainland such as Powell River, with patients transferred to Vancouver hospitals. This is the only MD900 flying in Canada. It was previously N7006X and N902JW.

HeliJet provide frequent services to Victoria from the Vancouver Harbour Heliport, which is on the opposite side of the cruise terminal to the seaplane base.

The heliport was floated into position on October 10, 1986 and is anchored to the shore by two footbridges, with a couple small buildings onshore serving at a passenger terminal and office. On this day, a Helijet S-76C+ was practicing Cat A vertical takeoffs from the heliport, which was very unusual to see. This was during a flurry of activity when Transport Canada told Helijet to stop landing a seven H1 hospital helipads in urban areas because of a preceived safety issue, which was soon resolved.

This photo was taken the day the heliport was installed from Transport Canada's Vancouver Harbour Air Control Tower located on top of the 142 m (466 ft) high Granville Square office building overlooking the Vancouver Coal Harbour Seaplane Base (CXH) and the new heliport (CBC7).
