If you are not short of time, you can take VIA Rail from Prince Rupert to Prince George and fly out of there. Again, it's not fast (it takes all day), but an incredibly scenic ride especially between Terrace and Smithers going past some of the coastal mountains. The train is running again now, but only 1x weekly and it remains to be seen how the schedule will change for summer. But it's at low risk of being completely cancelled because it services some communities along the route that aren't reachable by highway.
Perhaps the withdrawal of Air Canada will be a boon for other methods of getting to Prince Rupert - for tourists who can afford to take the scenic route, at least.
