From frozen tundra to gravel airstrips, Air Creebec keeps northern Quebec and Ontario connected when no one else can.

Fully Indigenous-owned, the airline plays a vital role in delivering passengers, medicine, food, and fuel to remote fly-in communities across Canada’s North.

Now, with the addition of its new ATR 72-500F turboprop, Air Creebec is taking its northern cargo operations to the next level — hauling larger loads more efficiently, and continuing its mission to serve with pride and purpose.
