Bearskin Lake Air Service

Bearskin Lake Air Service is a regional Canadian airline specializing in scheduled passenger and cargo services to remote and fly-in communities across northern Ontario and Manitoba. Founded in the early 1960s, the airline has long served as a vital transportation lifeline for Indigenous and isolated communities that have no road access to major urban centres. The airline operates out of Thunder Bay and Sioux Lookout, providing connections to dozens of small communities that would otherwise be extremely difficult to reach. Its routes are essential for medical travel, freight, and general transportation in one of Canada's most sparsely populated regions. Bearskin Lake Air Service has operated under the umbrella of Perimeter Aviation, which is part of the Exchange Income Corporation group of companies. This affiliation has allowed it to maintain and expand its northern network while benefiting from shared resources and operational expertise.
