Flying on Air Inuit's De Havilland Canada TWIN OTTER!

Air Inuit has one of the largest operations of any Quebec-based regional airline, and mainly serves the northern region of the province, known as Nunavik.
Located in the far northeast of the province, Kuujjuaq is the largest town in this region, home to over 2,600 people. Because of that, it’s an important hub for Air Inuit and for the communities along the Ungava Bay coast.
Following a great trip there with my good friend ‪@MarkBrandonAviation‬, it was time to head back home, and the first leg involved this Twin Otter to someplace I never thought I'd see again!

    Those airport facilities look quite good considering where they are located and the volume of traffic that probably goes through there. I am quite impressed. This video was quite fascinating. Thank you

    I’m doing CPL time building. I do cross countries to some very remote places in manitoba and Ontario and I’m continuously impressed with the facilities as small rural FBOs. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see a heated FBO with fuel pumps in the middle of frozen manitoba

    Great work! Oh and that light at the bottom of the the door. That’s a lot more fun at 19,000ft and pressurized! A leaky seal and a few empty garbage bags getting sucked out, trying to stop that God awful sound! Then turn to have a pax watching what your doing and about the same shade of white as those nice white puffy clouds. “standard operating procedures nothing to worry about! We are all good, would you like a drink on the house?” 🤪

    You fly so we don't have to fly? Very interesting videos. As a Canadian, from Toronto, 65yrs old, l still find it amazing that those places up there are Canada. So different. (BTW, one of my favorite Canadian movies is the Snow Walker, aviation in the 50's up there). Thanks much for giving me/us a look of what's up there.

    Hey Alex, I loved this flight. The Twin Otter is a magnificent aircraft in its performance and utility. Couple it with the conditions and destination of your trip and this video was perfect. I could get more ASMR about it but that would just be weird. But it got that deep. I love this time of year and flying just makes it even more fun.

    As a non Canadian, the Twin Otter was actually the fourth plane I have ever flown in, on my third day of flying. in 1988, at 18, I came from Milan to Vancouver Island, first on a KLM A310 to Amsterdam, then a venerable 747-200 or 300 to Chicago (KL611) and a United 757 to Vancouver, after which the last trip was in an Air BC Twin Otter. I remember the low speed compared to the jets I had before and the low altitude, although I remember it to be a tad higher than 1000 ft. That plane probably still flies somewhere in Canada too.

    Cruising at 2,000ft for a 2+ hour flight seems super odd, even for a twin otter! Would've thought they'd cruise above 5,000ft

    Hey Alex I have a question: if you were to do a trip report on a flight to Halifax, would you do a direct, or a stop somewhere? My mom recently flew air Canada’s a220 to Halifax and had a stop in YYZ on the way back. She said the a220 was awesome and super quiet. That could be an interesting report, just a suggestion for the future. Cheers!

    Considering that a twin otter is around 1700usd per flight hour to operate and you only have five Pax, it’s quite clear why such flights are very expensive

    The price reflects government paying government plus all the negative costs.
