First Air operates to some remote airports where the runway is no more than gravel or ice! The specially equipped aircraft make access easy for some remote and otherwise inaccessible regions of Northern Canada. Most of the aircraft in the First Air passenger fleet are equipped to cope with the tough and inhospitable conditions which they endure every single winter.
The First Air passenger fleet is made up of HS784, Boeing 727 & 737 and ATR 42 aircraft with a seating capacity ranging from 4 to 174 passengers.
First Air Northern Canada Flights
First Air is a real community airline and is actually owned by the 9,000 Inuit of northern Quebec, through Makivik Corp., a non-profit company, purchased by First Air in the early 1990’s. The airline works closely with local communities as well as with the tourism sector to ensure that hotels, towns and small hamlets are well served and not cut off from the outside world regular so it’s no wonder that customers just love this friendly "local" airline which just thrives on repeat business. Quality and service with a smile are what First Air is all about and coupled with comfortable aircraft, generous legroom and excellent cabin services make them the choice of 225,000 customers each year. Now that’s not bad considering just how remote some of their Arctic destinations are.
Make First Air your first choice - Alternative Airlines, of course!
