Company Description

Summit Air has been providing air transportation services to various industries in Northern Canada for over 15 years. Initially a float-plane operator in Atlin, BC, we now operate a fleet of multi-engine turbine aircraft consisting of a Dornier 228 (a 19-passenger executive aircraft) and 3 Shorts Skyvans (a versatile cargo transport aircraft), all fully fitted for Instrument Flight operations. Since January 2001, under the guidance of its original owner James (Jamie) Tait, Summit Air was repositioned to Yellowknife, NT to better serve the mining industry. With a permanent staff of 8 pilots, 3 engineers, 1 technician and 3 apprentices, Summit Air is also a Transport Canada Approved Maintenance Organization. Our office is comfortably situated in the Diamond Air (Adlair Aviation) hangar on the West side of the Yellowknife airport. We have also recently constructed a non-heated aircraft hangar, which is currently utilized to pamper Canadian North’s F-28 jet on a nightly bases. We continue to aim for excellence in safety standards and yet remain efficient. Our operation is streamlined by a suite of sophisticated electronic maintenance, dispatch, flight tracking, and crew scheduling system. Since our relocation to Yellowknife, we have earned the trust from our regular clients such as BBE, Discovery Mining, G&G, Hope Bay Joint Venture, Meridian Geoscience, and DeBeers.
