North Star Air

General information

In 2012, North Star Air underwent a change in ownership and shortly thereafter North Star Air and Cargo North merged into one airline to better serve our customers.

North Star Air is a well managed and profitable airline carrier that provides a full suite of cost-effective air transportation solutions for passenger, charter, cargo and fuel services. We serve Northern Ontario and beyond from our operating bases in Thunder Bay, Sioux Lookout, Red Lake, Pickle Lake and Kapuskasing. We have a growing modernized and low maintenance fleet that consists of 6 Pilatus PC-12, 2 Cessna Grand Caravan and 3 Basler BT-67 aircraft; a game changer for the North.

With our Flex Flights passenger services, we currently service 18 destinations in Northern Ontario where 80% of them are First Nations and our cargo business is experiencing significant growth as a result of new contracts with major corporations that provide lifeline services to the North. Under the direction and guidance of our seasoned professional aviation management team, we have achieved platinum rating for our safety standards

Our vision is to contribute to the social and economic development of the North so First Nation community members can improve their quality of life and our mission is to connect people, businesses and communities within Northern Ontario and beyond. Safety, affordability and reliability are at the cornerstone of our core values, culture, operations and services and we continuously strive to provide the best possible customer experience throughout the entire journey.

Our goals are to continue to operate a profitable airline, grow our market share, offer competitive solutions and focus on the customer experience. Being recognized as a leading and growing airline in Northern Ontario positions us well to service the future needs of people, businesses, industries and communities in the region and beyond.
