Why Do We think Your Should Fly with Air North?
- Air North is Yukon owned and operated in the Yukon, including large-scale ownership by the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation of Old Crow.
- The economic benefits of Air North predominately stay within the Yukon.
- Since the economic benefits from Air North stay within the Yukon, Air North is the clear eco-tourism choice, as positive local economic benefit is a basic principle of eco-tourism doctrine.
- Air North is staffed mostly by Yukoners, so the moment you step on their modern fleet of Boeing 737's you will feel as though you have already arrived in the Yukon. Yukon roasted coffee, Yukon brewed beer or a locally baked dessert are available during your flight. You can feel the difference that local people make!
- Air North provides a higher level of customer service which is based in a deep pride of the Yukon and their desire that you have a positive travel experience. Air North is big enough to compete successfully, yet still small enough to care.
- Air North has provided Cabin Fever Adventures clients with reliable pricing. The above pricing is available ( as an addition to a Cabin Fever Adventures travel package ) 365-days-a-year and is not subject to daily fluctuations. Assuming there is still space on the plane, we can get you these rates even if your are booking just a few days in advance!
A Message from Joseph Sparling, President of Air North and a Proud Yukoner!
"Purchasing locally is not charity, it's just good business, and the merits of a buy-local philosophy are not just confined to aviation in the Yukon. Many jurisdictions are currently using public spending as a means to mitigate the impact of the current dramatic and unforeseen economic downturn, and despite free trade and other such agreements, most jurisdictions are taking steps to maximize the impact of capital intervention and to minimize "leakage". By taking steps to look after ourselves first, the Yukon can insulate itself from the worst of the economic downturn. This airline spends almost $20 million each year in the Yukon, and these dollars are spread out over more than 200 Yukon businesses and almost 200 Yukon employees. This local spending has a huge positive impact on our economy. Our payroll provides a good illustration. We currently have 75 percent of our employees and spend 84 percent of our payroll in the Yukon. Were we based in Vancouver, for example, only 24 percent of our employees and 15 percent of our payroll would be in the Yukon.
Many of our readers will remember the way that air service was provided to the Yukon prior to 2002. Like most northern communities, Whitehorse was served as part of a traditional airline "hub and spoke" route network, with the hub located in Vancouver, and, previous to this, in Edmonton. In this situation, economic benefits accruing to the Yukon were very limited, as all of the transportation infrastructure and most of the employees were based outside of the Yukon. Northern air carriers like ourselves have been instrumental in establishing northern hubs, by bringing employment and infrastructure to the North. The net effect of this has been to cause cash to stay in the north and flow into the North rather than flowing out of the North or bypassing the North. These efforts by northern air carriers provide significant economic benefits to the territories.
Air North truly is Yukon's Airline, and we owe our success to our Yukon stakeholders who continue to show support for their airline. With almost 1,300 Class C and D shareholders, almost 800 Vuntut Gwitchin beneficial shareholders, and more than 220 full- and part-time employees, approximately one in fifteen individual Yukoners and more than one in ten Yukon households has either an equity stake or an employment stake in this company.
Air transportation is an essential component of our northern economy, and northern-based and northern owned carriers operate with a clear focus on northern service. In doing so, they provide much local economic benefit. We are extremely proud of what Air North, Yukon's Airline, has accomplished during the past thirty-two years and in particular since 2002. There is no other regional jurisdiction in Canada that can boast the degree of local ownership, influence, and benefit we have been able to achieve with respect to such an important part of our everyday lives. We are extremely thankful for the tremendous support provided by our northern stakeholders. In these tough economic times, and in this irrational marketplace, local market support is more important to us than ever."
