Air taxi fleet
Our commercial air service operates five seaplanes: three De Havilland Beaver DHC-2 (registered C-FMMO, C-FMPT, and C-GQXH), one Cessna 206 (registered C-FAZQ), and one Cessna 180 (registered C-FJNA).
The Beaver remains the best bush plane ever built to date. With Canadian design and construction, it is considered one of the top 10 engineering achievements in the history of our country. It can comfortably carry up to 6 passengers, but is most frequently used for groups of 4 with gear for a week-long stay. It can carry up to 1,200 lbs over distances of more than 400 miles. Our Beavers are equipped with the usual Kenmore modifications for comfort and performance, including bubble windows for more space, and they are the only commercially operated Beavers in Quebec with newly repositioned rear door handles for easier evacuation and ejection windows in case of emergency water landings.
The Cessna 206 is the fastest of our planes and is ideal for long distances. We also use it for groups of 2 or 3 people with luggage, and it can carry up to 5 passengers. Our Cessna 206 can carry up to 850 lbs.
The Cessna 180 is perfect for light work. We also use it for groups of 2, though it is often used for groups of 3 passengers with minimal baggage. With modified wings and an extended fuselage, it can carry up to 600 lbs.
