Canadian North

Canadian North is a Canadian regional airline specializing in scheduled passenger and cargo services to remote, northern, and Arctic communities. The airline serves numerous communities across Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and northern Alberta that are otherwise difficult to access, playing a vital role in linking isolated populations to larger urban centers. The airline was formed through the merger of Canadian North and First Air, two long-established northern carriers, which officially completed their operational integration in 2021. This consolidation created a stronger, unified northern airline better equipped to serve the unique logistical and transportation challenges of Canada's Arctic and subarctic regions. Beyond passenger service, Canadian North operates significant cargo and charter operations, supporting resource industries, government operations, and Indigenous communities throughout the North. The airline is majority-owned by a consortium of Inuit organizations, reflecting its deep ties to the communities it serves.
