Fleet
Kenn Borek Air (IATA: 4K, ICAO: KBA) is a Canadian airline established in 1970 and headquartered at Calgary International Airport. The airline operates regional passenger and cargo services alongside specialized contract operations in the Arctic and Antarctic, making it a key carrier for remote and challenging destinations where few airlines venture.
The airline's network focuses on regional connectivity across Canada and polar regions rather than international trunk routes. Kenn Borek Air is not part of any global airline alliance, maintaining independent operations. The carrier also offers air ambulance services and aircraft leasing, diversifying its business beyond scheduled passenger flights.
The fleet comprises a mix of proven regional turboprops and twin-engine aircraft, including the De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, Basler BT-67, and Beechcraft models. These aircraft are selected for reliability in harsh environments and ability to operate from short, unprepared airstrips-essential for the airline's Arctic and Antarctic missions.
