Among Air Inuit’s first aircraft, a DC-3 (left), painted<br />

Passengers boarding one of the two Dehavilland Dash 8 airplanes.<br />
The company has established bases at the following locations:<br />
• Dorval<br />
• Kuujjuaq<br />
• Kuujjuaraapik<br />
• Puvirnituq<br />
• Radisson<br />
• Salluit<br />
• Sept-Iles<br />
• Schefferville<br />
Since 1978, the company has:<br />
• Accomplished more than 3,850 medical evacuations in<br />
Nunavik.<br />
• Carried more than 1,325,000 passengers.<br />
• Air lifted more than 125,500,000 pounds of cargo to Nunavik<br />
communities.<br />
• Accumulated more than 280,000 flight hours, mostly in<br />
Nunavik skies.<br />
The company provides employment to approximately 300 individuals<br />
whose collective efforts make the airline work.<br />
During the past 25 years, the list of airlines<br />
that have ceased operations is long and<br />
unhappy. While Air Inuit has not been without<br />
setbacks and difficulties over the last<br />
quarter century, the company has remained<br />
comparatively stable. Our northern traditions<br />
of adaptability, resourcefulness, and first-name<br />
familiarity mark the character of the airline to<br />
this day and have been central to achieving<br />

this stability. Likewise, the steady support<br />
of <strong>Makivik</strong> and other Nunavik organizations<br />
continue to be critical to the success of our<br />
project.<br />
The board of directors and employees of<br />
Air Inuit express their appreciation to <strong>Makivik</strong> Corporation and to<br />
the residents of Nunavik for your support during the past 25 years<br />
— especially on those days when a heater went out, a tire went<br />
flat, or the fog rolled in.<br />
We look forward to extending the legacy over the next 25<br />
years.<br />
