ex Helijet - on 24 Oct 2023 C-GXHJ, operated by Helijet, was conducting a flight from Vancouver Harbour Heliport to Victoria Harbour Heliport with 2 crew and 12 passengers on board. During cruise flight, the aircraft was struck by lightning and entered an uncontrolled descent. The pilot-in-command regained control of the aircraft after losing approximately 2900 vertical feet. The aircraft continued the flight to Victoria and landed without incident. There were no reported injuries. The aircraft was substantially damaged.
