Beginning in 1997 as a float plane service North Star Air has steadily evolved its service capabilities and transformed its fleet. Today NSA offers their charter clients the very best in modern turbo prop aircraft.
Wherever your work is located across Canada or across North America, NSA provides fast, safe and reliable transport for your key employees, products and materials.
Our fleet of Pilatus PC-12 and Cessna Caravan aircraft provides an exceptional range of freight and passenger options designed to suit your company needs.
The Pilatus PC-12 is a new generation aircraft designed and manufactured in Switzerland. There are now more than 1,500 PC-12s in service since the first one was launched in 1995. With a 2000 mile range, 300 mph cruise speed with high altitude and all weather capability, this aircraft has been a world beater from inception. A stellar safety record and quiet, comfortable, passenger friendly design characteristics make this aircraft a customer favorite.
Our PC-12 aircraft offer both executive and commuter configurations depending on the load and passenger requirements. Plush leather seats and birds-eye maple interior complete with onboard washroom, VPC is the choice for long range flights and for VIP and management travel.
The commuter Pilatus YZS offers fast comfortable travel for larger parties who need space for additional gear. Both aircraft offer the same in-flight service of self serve refreshments. As well, both aircraft offer seating configurations to accommodate up to 9 passengers.
Our Cessna Caravan fleet of two Grand Caravans offer wheel service to airstrips across Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec. These safe, reliable aircraft are the work horse of the north. With load capabilities of well over 3000 lbs depending on the distance, the caravan can economically transport passengers, freight or a mixture of both, quickly and securely to just about any landing location (land and ice).
Hauling drums, lumber, tools, equipment, drill and camp equipment or passengers and their luggage, this aircraft will meet your needs.
In addition to the two Grand Caravans, we also offer a slightly smaller Cessna Caravan that has the option to convert to amphibious floats in the summer time. This option is preferred when a project requires the speed and comfort the Caravan offers when water landings are necessary.
Based both in Pickle Lake, the farthest northerly road accessible airport in Ontario, and at the Thunder Bay International Airport, located right in the centre of both Canada and North America, we are able to access your departure and destination locations offering competitive quotes.
