Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Smithers, British Columbia, Central Mountain Air (CMA) has carved out a vital role in connecting communities across BC and Alberta. With a versatile network of scheduled, charter, and cargo services, CMA offers more than just flights—it provides lifelines to remote regions, efficient business travel, and reliable freight solutions.

A Fleet Tailored to Your Journey
Central Mountain Air's fleet comprises over 30 aircraft, including Beechcraft 1900Ds, Dornier 328s, and De Havilland Dash 8 (100/300/400) models. From nimble 18-seat 1900Ds to spacious 76-seat DASH-8 400s, the airline balances capacity, comfort, and operational agility. Newer DASH‑8 400s—even featuring modern passenger interiors—underscore CMA's dedication to quality and reliable service
Acts of Service: Charters & Cargo
Beyond scheduled flights, CMA excels in charter services, supporting corporate, sports, remote worksite, tourism, and medical evacuations—even landing on gravel or unpaved strips. Their CMA Cargo division, launched in 2022, uses converted Beechcraft 1900Ds to transport urgent freight—medical supplies, e‑commerce packages, perishables—maintaining excellent on‑time performance.
Safety & Community Focus
Safety remains central to CMA’s operations. They uphold high industry standards with certifications like BARS Gold and employ rigorous risk-assessment practices. As a western Canadian, privately-owned airline, CMA is deeply rooted in its communities—with staff and facilities located in Smithers, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Prince George.
Why Central Mountain Air stands out: reliability in challenging environments, a well-maintained and purpose-built fleet, personalized charter and cargo capabilities—and an unwavering focus on community and safety.
