WHY JOIN AIR INUIT

Every day, something extraordinary happens in the skies above Nunavik. At Air Inuit, we’re not just flying planes, we’re connecting communities, delivering essentials, and making a meaningful impact. We’re looking for dedicated individuals ready to take their careers to new heights. If you’re driven by purpose and motivated by challenge, your journey starts here.

Since 1978, Air Inuit is more than just an airline, it is a lifeline. Born from the vision and resilience of the Inuit of Nunavik, and proudly owned through the Makivvik Corporation, Air Inuit has connected communities across the vast, breathtaking expanse of Northern Quebec and beyond.

From the versatile Twin Otter to the powerful Boeing 737-800NG, a fleet of over 35 aircraft carries not just passengers and cargo, but stories, hopes, and essential services to the people of the Nunavik. Behind every flight is a team of over 1,300 dedicated professionals and each one committed to a shared mission: to operate with safety, reliability, and heart. Air Inuit is more than transportation, it’s a symbol of self-determination, a bridge between tradition and progress, and a testament to what’s possible when a community takes flight together.
