What to Expect On board
Air North guests enjoy a warm welcome from attentive staff dedicated to making every flight comfortable. Complimentary meals crafted with local ingredients by The Flight Kitchen pair beautifully with Yukon-roasted coffee or locally brewed beer. And no journey is complete without a signature treat—a freshly baked, warm cookie.
Head north to the Yukon, where nature’s raw beauty unfolds at every turn and warm welcomes await. Adventure thrives year-round, from dog-sledding across snowy plains to connecting with Indigenous craftspeople and witnessing the dazzling Northern Lights. For your front row seat to the best experiences in Canada’s Great North, Air North will get you there in comfort and style.
As Yukon’s airline, Air North has served this remarkable destination since 1977. Proudly connecting the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Ontario, Air North’s growing fleet includes two new 737-800s, reinforcing its commitment to outstanding service.
Deeply rooted in the territory, 49 percent of the airline is owned by the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation of Old Crow, and one in ten Yukoners have a stake in the company. It’s as much a part of the Yukon as its sweeping landscapes, migrating caribou, summer festivals, and the rich Klondike Gold Rush history of Dawson City.
Celebrating 48 years of service this year, Air North remains devoted to making travel seamless. A major perk? Passengers can check two bags at no extra cost—a dream for those bringing hiking boots, winter gear or outdoor equipment.
Air North’s long history of exceptional service hasn’t gone unnoticed. It has chalked up multiple Travellers’ Choice awards from TripAdvisor that recognize the attention and hospitality it extends to every traveller. There are strong indicators of the level of care you can expect from every flight, including a signature warm cookie to make you feel at home.
Whether travelling or simply wanting to enjoy a view, gourmet meals are available at Black Wolf Bistro, Air North’s new restaurant at Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport. Opened in 2024, it serves up local flavours like bison shepherd’s pie, butter chicken and artisanal sandwiches.
For those seeking unforgettable experiences, Air North Getaways (www.airnorth.vacations), offers vacation packages that immerse visitors in the Yukon’s magic. Picture a rejuvenating retreat in Kluane National Park, a city stay in Whitehorse, or adrenaline-fueled days of snowmobiling and ice fishing. No matter the season, the Yukon delivers adventure in abundance.
Reaching the Yukon has never been easier, and with Air North, every journey is as memorable as the destination itself. (flyairnorth.com)
