[edit] History
The airline began operations in 1970 with a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter providing air support for oil exploration activities in the Canadian Arctic. In April 2001, Kenn Borek Air rescued Dr. Ron Shemenski from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. When float operations are impossible during the Canadian winter, Kenn Borek Air rents many of its planes and pilots to the Maldivian Air Taxi service. [5] The airline is wholly owned by Borek Construction.[4]

Fantastica! Opera dagli aeroporti del Nunavut più estremi!

Esatto, ma non solo, comunque hanno un bel pelo i piloti e si devono secondo me fare anche un gran mazzo, chiaramente inteso solo per il fatto di operare in zone estremamente particolari.

Buona serata e complimenti a chiunque voli.
