This Summer, we celebrated 12 years since the inception of Summit Air Kitikmeot.

Founded in 2014, the Summit Air Kitikmeot partnership was established between the Summit Aviation Group and local stakeholders in the Kitikmeot region, with a shared goal of providing safe, reliable, and customized aviation services to clients within the region.

Over the past 12 years, this partnership has supported the movement of passengers and freight throughout the territory, helping connect communities, clients, and remote industrial projects across the North.

We are grateful to our clients, and partners for their continued support and proud to recognize this important milestone.

Meet Michell, AVRO RJ First Officer at Summit Air!

Michell started on the ground as a pilot-in-waiting, working as a crew scheduler. Today, she’s a First Officer on the Avro RJ, double-rated on both the Dash 8 and RJ, flying in some of Canada’s most unique and challenging environments.

“No two days are ever the same,” she says. “From landing on gravel strips or flying into busy airspace, the variety keeps you sharp.”

For Michell, the most rewarding part of the role is the people.

“The crews I work with, from Captains and AMEs to flight attendants and the teams behind the scenes, bring so much knowledge and experience. I’ve grown not just as a pilot, but as a person.”

Reflecting on her experience at Summit Air, Michell points to the people and opportunities as what set it apart:

“At Summit Air, you’ll find a great team and real opportunities to grow—all while being supported every step of the way.”

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of three members of the wildfire aviation community near Fort Simpson.

While we may wear different uniforms, we share the same skies and the same commitment to serving northern communities.

As members of the Northwest Territories aviation community, heartbreaking losses like this impact all of us.
