Fleet
Central Mountain Air (IATA: 9M, ICAO: GLR) is a Canadian regional carrier established in 1987. Based in Canada, the airline operates a focused network from three strategic hubs: Calgary International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, and Prince George Airport. This hub structure allows Central Mountain Air to serve both major metropolitan areas and remote regional communities across western Canada.
The airline's fleet consists of two twin-engine turboprop aircraft types: the Beechcraft 1900 and Dornier 328. These regional aircraft are well-suited to the airline's mission of connecting smaller communities and regional airports where larger jets are impractical. The turboprop configuration provides fuel efficiency and the ability to operate from shorter runways, essential for accessing remote destinations.
With over three decades of operational history, Central Mountain Air has established itself as a specialist in regional aviation. The airline's focus on connecting western Canadian communities, combined with its experienced fleet and multi-hub strategy, positions it as an important part of the regional aviation network in Canada.
