Air Inuit

Located above the 55th parallel in northern Quebec, Nunavik is home to approximately 13,000 Inuit dispersed across 14 communities along the east coast of Hudson Bay, the south shore of the Hudson Strait and throughout the Ungava Bay region. A territory so vast and rugged that air transportation is the only means by which to move people and goods efficiently. Air Inuit has been providing vital passenger (both scheduled and charter), cargo and emergency air transport services to the region—24 hours a day, 365 days a year—for over 35 years. Collectively owned by the Inuit of Nunavik through their participation in the Makivik Corporation, the airline has logged more than 500,000 hours of air time and flown over 1.5 million passengers in one of the world's most challenging operational environments. Air Inuit management and its team of more than 600 employees are committed to pursuing their tradition of providing safe, punctual and courteous air service for the growing number of people living and doing business in this enchanting region of northern Quebec.
