Kenn Borek Air is a Canadian airline founded in 1970 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, specializing in charter and cargo operations across remote and challenging regions of North America and the Arctic. The airline operates a fleet of turboprop and twin-engine aircraft optimized for operations on unprepared airstrips, gravel bars, and ice runways, making it uniquely suited for servicing mining operations, research expeditions, and remote communities in Canada's far north and Alaska. Kenn Borek Air provides both passenger charter services and dedicated cargo transport, with particular expertise in supporting oil and gas exploration, scientific research, and emergency medical evacuations in regions where conventional airlines cannot operate. The company has become one of Canada's most respected operators for Arctic and remote-area aviation, maintaining a strong presence in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and northern British Columbia. Known for its safety record and operational flexibility, Kenn Borek Air plays a critical role in connecting isolated communities and supporting industrial operations in some of the world's most inaccessible locations.
