I Flew Air North's INAUGURAL FLIGHT to Toronto!

Published 2022-05-13
On May 10th, Air North, Yukon's Airline, flew their first flight from Whitehorse to Toronto, via Yellowknife!

This new route will have a huge economic impact on Canada's North, as the very first time that the Northwest Territories and Yukon have ever had a direct link to Toronto.

So, given all this, I knew I had to come back to Whitehorse and see what an Air North inaugural flight was like!

    I was on this flight and wasn’t to far ahead from you, it was such a great flight and one of the best in Canada. I was part of the dancing group that danced at Toronto air north event after we landed. So cool you showed are First Nation’s flag (Vuntut Gwichin)
  • Didn’t realize they’d equipped (at least one) -500 with winglets. Didn’t know it was even an option, if I’m being honest. Looks sharp, and looks like they keep their plane(s) in great shape. 👍🏼 Congrats to Air North, “the little airline that could.”
  • The company I work for is actually responsible for fuelling Air North when they come to Ottawa. It's always nice having them come in as it's a nice mixup from our usual customers of private, medevac and business aircraft, and the crews are always very pleasant.
  • Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop about the different Canadian airlines and the new routes and services they offer. A service long overdue in my opinion. I also enjoyed your trip form Calgary-Vancouver with the inaugural flight of the new Lynx Air. Canadians need to know of these services to take advantage of them, and as far as I can see you’re the only person taking the time not just to point them out, but actually fly the routes and report on them. Much gratitude and keep up the great channel. PS- Believe it or not one of my favourite episodes was your flight fro Edmonton-Calgary on a Small twin engine job, (Saab?), the name of which escapes me at the moment

    Always enjoy your vids. Thanks for posting original date it was posted.

    I've only ever flown one trip on Air North (Vancouver -> Whitehorse -> Dawson City), but they were a class act. Have to do it again some time.
  • This is a game changer for the Yukon. I lived in Whitehorse fir 18 years in the 70s,80s and early 90s and it was always a pain having to fly to Vancouver for 2 hours and then start flying east. Give me those old Southwest seats over the new ones anyday.

    I had no idea Air North provided so much excellent service! If I ever find myself going to Whitehorse I will definitely look forward to this airline! Wow!
  • @reidtait11
    Glad you were able to take this flight. As a Yellowknifer who moved to Ottawa for university in 2016, I've benefitted greatly from Air North's previous YYZ-YOW nonstop
  • Well done and interesting video. Great detail on the aircraft and Air North.
  • Love this ❤️ I worked for Air North back in the days when they flew DC3s, loved them then and feel so proud to see how they have grown
  • @carlhaluss
    Great video and coverage. What a wonderful airline. Everyone seems to have such a sense of pride. The Toronto flight will probably do very well for them. Meal service is a bonus, and it looked delicious!
  • @PLANEMANIA747
    That feeling when you are in an inaugural flight...wow🤩🤩 Nice video ❤
  • @mojojojoyyz
    Alex! Thanks so much for sharing this exciting inaugural flight, hope they decide to increase the frequency if it does well.
  • @tumakbaluk
    Alex, thank you for taking an AWESOME compromise seating position. You can still see the engine, but more importantly, you can see the flaps do their thing! Great video!
  • @coolkanadian
    Great video. This aircraft has a very cool history!
  • @craiglsimons
    Fascinating! Amazing to see the variety of Canada’s indigenous languages written on the board at check in and the welcome speeches!! Never flown on the 737-500 but I’m sure when I hopefully visit Canada, I’ll fly on one and other retro aircraft and travel the country. Super footage and in depth review on this then new route. Impressed the interior is in such great condition! Ace video 🙌
