Cargo shipments account for a significant portion of Air Inuit’s business. Delivering large, heavy cargo shipments of food, supplies and equipment to remote northern Canadian communities posed some unique challenges. We partnered with Air Inuit to “We strongly believe address those challenges. Serving communities like Puvirnituq, Air Inuit has logged the Dash 8 is the over 500 operational hours with the Q300 freighter. aircraft to do what we need it to do. When Welcome to Puvirnituq you consider the risk, it is a bold move for a Puvirnituq is an Inuit community in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec. It has a company like ours, but population of 1,692 and can only be reached by air during the frigid winter months. we’ve proven that bold In towns like Puvirnituq, getting supplies and goods is no simple matter. One of the hardest things to get is fresh food. moves have paid off in the past.” Because of the challenges of time, cost to ship and handling, items like fresh fruit and – Christian Busch vegetables may cost triple or quadruple what they cost in more urban areas. Larger COO, Air Inuit industrial items such as ATVs or generators only fit on aircraft that aren’t suited for smaller remote airstrips. In short, getting the things they need isn’t easy. Meeting these needs is at the heart of Air Inuit’s cargo strategy..

THE PERFECT FIT Because the Q300 freighter is very well suited for remote routes, shorter runways and the harsh weather conditions of northern Quebec, the cargo modification kit was the perfect solution for Air Inuit. With the freighter, the airline can ship goods faster, cheaper, more reliably and more often. And, when it comes to delivering heavy, palletized shipments to rugged areas with a turboprop aircraft, Air Inuit’s proven success opens new doors for other regional airlines to serve their own remote communities.
