Air Creebec: Connecting Canada’s North with Pride and Purpose Founded in 1982, Air Creebec is a regional airline proudly owned by the Cree Nation of Quebec. Headquartered in Val-d'Or, with a major base in Timmins, Ontario, this airline has played a critical role in linking remote Cree communities with major centers across Quebec and Ontario. From its first flight in July 1982 to becoming fully Cree-owned by 1988, Air Creebec’s mission has always been more than just air travel—it’s about accessibility, economic empowerment, and cultural pride. Serving Northern Communities Air Creebec operates scheduled passenger services, charter flights, and cargo transportation to over 16 destinations. These include key routes between Montreal, Ottawa, Val-d'Or, Timmins, and remote communities like Chisasibi, Waskaganish, Wemindji, and Attawapiskat. Many of these areas are inaccessible by road year-round, making air travel essential for residents, medical services, and goods. Fleet Built for the North Air Creebec’s fleet includes a mix of Dash 8 and Hawker Siddeley 748 aircraft—reliable turboprops specifically chosen to handle short gravel runways, icy conditions, and rugged weather typical of Canada’s subarctic regions. Whether it's flying passengers, medical evacuations, or transporting critical cargo, their aircraft are well-equipped to meet the needs of northern communities. Cultural Impact & Reliability What truly sets Air Creebec apart is its deep cultural connection with the people it serves. As a fully Indigenous-owned airline, it reflects the Cree Nation’s values—community support, sustainability, and respect for tradition. With over four decades of safe operations, Air Creebec has earned a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and customer care. It’s not just a regional carrier—it’s a symbol of Indigenous strength and sovereignty in the aviation sector.
