ABOUT US
Since 1978, Air Inuit is more than just an airline, it is a lifeline. Born from the vision and resilience of the Inuit of Nunavik, and proudly owned through the Makivik Corporation, Air Inuit has connected communities across the vast, breathtaking expanse of Northern Quebec and beyond. Air Inuit’s aircraft have soared through some of the world’s most challenging skies, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
From the versatile Twin Otter to the powerful Boeing 737 800NG, a fleet of over 35 aircraft carries not just passengers and cargo, but stories, hopes, and essential services to the people of the Nunavik. Behind every flight is a team of over 1,200 dedicated professionals and each one committed to a shared mission: to operate with safety, reliability, and heart. Air Inuit is more than transportation. It’s a symbol of self-determination, a bridge between tradition and progress, and a testament to what’s possible when a community takes flight together.
