The potential merger is intended to create a single airline entity
that builds on the strengths and identities of the two companies. A
merger would improve the sustainability of these critical Inuit
birthright enterprises and would also create better air services and new
economic development opportunities across the north.
Flight operations and services will remain independent and unaffected during the negotiation and regulatory review phases.
