Fleet
Aklak Air (IATA: 6L, ICAO: AKK) is a Canadian regional airline founded in 1977, operating from its primary hub at Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport in the Northwest Territories. The airline has built its reputation on reliable service to remote and underserved northern communities where commercial aviation is often the only practical transportation link.
The airline's network focuses on regional routes across Canada's Arctic and subarctic regions, connecting small communities that depend on air service for passenger travel, cargo delivery, and emergency evacuation. Aklak Air's operations are essential infrastructure in northern Canada, where distance and terrain make ground transportation impractical.
Aklak Air operates a specialized fleet of twin-engine turboprops and regional aircraft, including De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters, Beechcraft King Air variants, and the Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante. These aircraft are proven performers in northern operations, offering reliability, flexibility in unprepared airstrips, and efficiency on short regional routes typical of remote community flying.
