[edit] History
The airline was established in 1992 and started operations in 1997. It began operations mainly to service hunting and fishing outfitters in the Schefferville area, then provided charter services for passengers and freight. Since June 1999 it also has permission to provide its own aircraft maintenance. It has 60 employees (at March 2007).[1]
In 2001, the company bought its first fully cargo Convair 580 and started providing cargo service to the United States and the northern region of Canada. In order to respond to the growing cargo market, Nolinor Aviation bought two more full cargo Convair 580s in 2004. In 2006 the fourth passenger Convair 580 (C-GKFP) was delivered. In 2004 the Prud'Homme family trust became the majority stockholder. Expending very rapidly, Nolinor needed more space for its Convair 580 fleet and in 2005 the company moved it's maintenance facilities to Mirabel International Airport. The new hangar provides more than 100,000 sq ft (10,000 m²). and is able to accommodate aircraft like the Boeing 747-200, 767, Airbus 310, 320. The tarmac has more than 300,000 sq ft (30,000 m²). and provides sufficient parking space for all the Nolinor Convairs 580 and other maintenance clients. In 2006, the company was named one of the best enterprise of the province of Quebec by the National Bank of Canada. Nolinor is taking is share of the market also outside the Quebec region with contracts in Winnipeg (2000), Churchill (2005), Yellowknife (2007) and Vancouver (2007).[citation needed] Nolinor Aviation has acquired two ex-Royal Air Maroc Boeing 737-200 Combis (freight/passenger) which will be taken in service from November 2007.
