Canadian North Airlines - 737 300 - Yellowknife (YZF) to Edmonton (YEG) | TRIP REPORT
Canadian North Airlines is an Inuit-owned airline flying up in Canada's Northwest Territories and Nunavut, connecting some of the country's most remote towns to the world. Its merger with First Air in 2019 established the combined fleet as one of Canada's largest airlines. Ticket prices are known to be outrageous, and in a way, the airline has a monopoly on Arctic transportation because most towns aren't accessible by road, rail, or even boat. If you want to visit or leave these Northern towns, you must fly.
I was supposed to fly on the 737-200 Combi (the aircraft is half cargo pallets, half passenger seats), but mechanical issues saw the flight downgrade to an ATR 42 and a 7-hour delay. I'll return to Yellowknife in a couple of months to give it another crack!
Yellowknife is the capital and largest city in the Northwest Territories with a population of 20,000 residents. Industry includes diamond mining, transportation, northern lights tourism, and communications. The airport is a hub for Canadian North along with Adlair Aviation, Air Tindi, Buffalo Airways, Northwestern Air, North-Wright Airways, and Summit Air. Destinations for Canadian North from Yellowknife are Cambridge Bay, Edmonton, Fort Simpson, Gjoa Haven, Hay River, Inuvik, Iqaluit, Kugaaruk, Kugluktuk, Norman Wells, Rankin Inlet, Taloyoak, and Ulukhaktok.
I enjoyed the actual onboard product during the flight! They served a complimentary meal and drinks (included in all fares) and the crew members are always extremely nice!
