Family-run Arctic charter operator based in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut and Yellowknife
Adlair Aviation (1983) Ltd. is a family-owned charter airline headquartered in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut (CYCB), with a second base in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (CYZF). The company says it was established in 1983 by brothers Rene and Paul Laserich; Wikipedia traces the business back to 1973 under founder Willy Laserich, with re-incorporation under the current name after a charter licence was obtained.
Its website lists aviation charters, FBO services and aviation consulting, covering the movement of both people and freight across the Canadian Arctic. The company also references its history of medevac work in the Kitikmeot Region.
Wikipedia, citing Transport Canada registration data from September 2022, lists two aircraft: a Beechcraft Super King Air 200 and a Learjet 25B. The official website also names a King Air and a Lear 25B. Older sources describe a larger mixed fleet, so flyers should confirm what is currently available.
Adlair held the Government of Nunavut contract for Kitikmeot medevac services from 1999 to 2011, when the contract was awarded to another operator. A subsequent lawsuit filed by Adlair against the territorial government was dismissed in October 2017, according to Wikipedia. The website names Kitikmeot Air and Diamond Air as group companies.
