About Us:

North Star Air began operations in 1997 with the purchase of two single-engine Beaver aircraft on floats based on Pickle Lake.

In cooperation with its sister company Canoe Frontier, North Star Air flew paddlers and fishermen into Ontario's Last Frontier north of Pickle Lake.

Shortly thereafter a DHC-3 Turbo-Otter and Cessna Caravan on floats joined the operation. In 2001, North Star Air moved from its water base on Pickle Lake to the Pickle Lake Airport.

Today North Star Air services over 54 remote Northern communities with its fleet of 18 aircraft and 300+ dedicated employees.

Most importantly, North Star Air has, and continues to, make a difference in the North.
