INTO THE TRUE NORTH

west Territories, where wide-open
Head north to the Yukon and the North-
wilderness and unforgettable experi-
ences await. From dog sledding across
snowy trails to vibrant fall landscapes—where
autumn arrives earlier than the rest of Canada—
and summer days stretched long beneath the
midnight sun, the North delivers adventure
year-round. Witness the dazzling Northern
Lights and immerse yourself in a unique
northern culture. Air North connects you to
Canada’s Great North with comfort, care, and
genuine northern hospitality.
Proudly connecting the Yukon with British
Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and
Ontario, Air North’s growing fleet includes two
new 737-800s, reinforcing its commitment to out-
standing service. Deeply rooted in the territory, 49
percent of the airline is owned by the Vuntut
Gwitchin First Nation of Old Crow, while one in 15
Yukoners has a stake in the company. It’s as much
a part of the North as migrating caribou, lively
summer festivals, and the enduring Klondike
Gold Rush legacy of Dawson City.
Now celebrating 49 years of service, Air North
remains devoted to making travel seamless. A
major perk? Travellers can check two bags at no
extra cost—ideal for hauling hiking boots, outdoor
gear or all the equipment needed for adventure.
That commitment to care hasn’t gone unno-
ticed. Air North has earned multiple TripAdvisor
Travellers’ Choice awards, recognizing its con-
sistently high level of service. From attentive
staff to thoughtful details—like a signature
warm cookie served on board—every flight
makes you feel at home.
The northern experience begins even before
takeoff at Black Wolf Bistro, located inside Erik
Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport.
Opened in 2024 and led by Air North’s Red
Seal chef, the bistro showcases thoughtfully
prepared dishes inspired by local flavours,
including freshly baked goods.
For travellers looking to turn a trip north into
something truly memorable, Air North Getaways
(airnorthgetaways.com) offers thoughtfully
curated vacation packages designed to showcase
the Yukon and beyond. From restorative retreats
set against the vast wilderness of Kluane
National Park to adrenaline-filled days spent
snowmobiling or ice fishing, each experience
invites you to connect more deeply with
Canada’s North. No matter the season, there’s no
shortage of unforgettable ways to experience the
magic, scale, and spirit of the North.
Reaching the Yukon has never been easier,
and with Air North, every journey is as memo-
rable as the destination itself. (flyairnorth.com)
WHAT TO
EXPECT ONBOARD
Air North guests enjoy a
warm welcome from attentive
staff dedicated to making
every flight comfortable.
Complimentary meals crafted
with local ingredients by The
Flight Kitchen pair beautifully
with Yukon-roasted coffee or
locally brewed beer. And no
journey is complete without a
signature treat—a freshly
baked, warm cookie.
