Air Tindi (IATA: 8T, ICAO: TID) is a Canadian regional airline established in 1988 and headquartered in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. As a subsidiary of Discovery Air Inc., the airline focuses on essential connectivity across Canada's northern regions, serving remote communities where ground transportation is limited or impossible.
The airline operates two primary hubs: Yellowknife Airport and Fort Simpson Airport, both in the Northwest Territories. From these bases, Air Tindi connects smaller communities and fly-in locations across northern Canada, providing both scheduled and charter services. The airline is known for operating the world's largest fleet of Dash 7 combi aircraft, versatile twin-engine turboprops capable of carrying both passengers and cargo on routes with minimal infrastructure requirements.
Air Tindi's fleet comprises nine aircraft types, including the De Havilland Canada Dash 8, Cessna 208, DHC-6 Twin Otter, Beechcraft Super King Air, DHC-3 Otter, Beechcraft Model 99, Cessna 185 Skywagon, Dash 7, and Cessna Citation II. This diverse mix reflects the airline's need to serve varying route demands, from short unprepared strips to longer regional corridors, making Air Tindi a critical transport link for northern Canada.
