About Air North
Discover the Heart of the Yukon with Air North
Air North, Yukon’s Airline, is more than just a regional carrier — it’s a vital lifeline connecting the North with the rest of Canada. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Whitehorse, Yukon, Air North has grown from a small charter service into a trusted airline known for its friendly service, reliability, and community focus.
Operating scheduled passenger flights across the Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, Air North bridges some of the most remote and scenic parts of Canada. Destinations include Whitehorse, Dawson City, Inuvik, Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. The airline’s commitment to the North ensures that residents, businesses, and tourists can travel with ease, even in challenging weather conditions.
What truly sets Air North apart is its strong connection with the Yukon community. Approximately 49% of the company is owned by the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, and many of its employees and shareholders are local Yukoners. This unique ownership model supports regional economic development while preserving Indigenous involvement in aviation.
Passengers consistently praise Air North for its warm hospitality, generous baggage allowances, complimentary in-flight meals, and freshly baked cookies — a rare treat in today’s airline industry. Its fleet, which includes Boeing 737s and ATR 42 turboprops, is well-suited for short- and medium-haul routes, ensuring efficient and comfortable travel across its network.
Whether you're traveling for business, exploring the rugged beauty of the Yukon, or visiting family up north, Air North offers a personalized flying experience with the charm and care of a community airline. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B — it’s about connecting people, cultures, and places in a way that only a northern airline truly can.
