Project Sparrow<br />

Air Inuit expresses our appreciation to Kativik Regional<br />

Government and Kativik School Board for their participation with<br />

Air Inuit in a summer trial project — the provision of flying lessons<br />

in the north from June to October. The project is designed to enable<br />

Nunavik aspirants to acquire a private pilot’s license near the air<br />

operation and in a home environment. It is our hope that the project<br />

will be successful and that it will extend to other home based<br />

training possibilities in the future.<br />

Fleet renewal program completed<br />

The renewal of the Air Inuit fleet was a central component in<br />

our long-range transportation plan approved by the board in 2008.<br />

This program has now been completed with the following results:<br />

• Two gravel capable B737 combi aircraft are on line.<br />

• Seven Dash 8-300 passenger combi aircraft are on line.<br />

• Two Dash 8-100 passenger combi aircraft are on line.<br />

• Two Dash 8 freighters and the Dash 8 combi fleet have<br />

replaced the HS 748 fleet. However, Air Inuit has retained<br />

one HS 748 with a large cargo door for exceptionally large<br />

items.<br />

• Our small turbo prop fleet remains at seven Twin Otters and<br />

three King Airs.<br />

The Dash 8-300 passenger combi aircraft were extensively modified<br />

by Air Inuit prior to its induction into service: An expanded<br />
