Fleet
Canadian North (IATA: 5T, ICAO: MPE) is Canada's leading airline for northern and remote region services. Founded in 1989, the airline has grown to serve communities across the Arctic and northern regions that depend on reliable air connectivity.
The airline's primary hub is Yellowknife Airport, strategically positioned to serve the Northwest Territories and surrounding northern communities. From here, Canadian North operates a network of regional routes connecting remote settlements, resource industry centers, and population hubs across the Canadian north, where it remains essential infrastructure for residents and businesses.
Canadian North's fleet combines ATR 42 turboprops for smaller regional routes, Bombardier DHC-8-400Q Dash 8 aircraft for regional services, and Boeing 737 jets for higher-capacity trunk routes. This mix allows the airline to serve both remote airstrips with shorter runways and larger airports, adapting capacity to demand across its dispersed network.
