Significant Contracts<br />

First Air has signed several significant contracts during the first half of<br />

this year. In February, a 12-month extension of our cargo and passenger<br />

services agreement was negotiated with the Northwest Company,<br />

which is one of the largest cargo shippers in the North. This extension<br />

is a direct recognition of the significant value proposition First Air delivers<br />

to Northern Stores and Northmart on an ongoing basis.<br />

First Air and our partners, Qikiqtani First Aviation and Sakku First<br />

Aviation, have successfully secured 95% of the market for the Government<br />

of Nunavut’s freight requirements over the next 12 months. This is our<br />

second win from the Government of Nunavut. Earlier this year First Air<br />

and our partners were awarded the majority of the Government of<br />

Nunavut’s medical contract.<br />

First Air also secured the Stanton Territorial Health Authority<br />

Agreement, which includes all staff duty travel, contractors, and patients<br />

for Northwest Territories medical travel. Our proposed rates were selected<br />

for 22 out of 24 potential routes, representing a significant volume of<br />

passenger travel.<br />

Through these contracts, our customers are demonstrating their continued<br />

confidence in our service and operational capabilities. We provide<br />

our customers with an efficient and cost effective service across a route<br />

network that links more northern communities than any other carrier.<br />

To support our cargo delivery commitments, we have extended<br />

the lease agreement for the B767 Super Freighter, providing an additional<br />

three years with this aircraft. The B767 has proven to be a valuable
