History

NorthernStar began in 1979 when Jack Hunter began flying sportsmen into the backwoods regions of British Columbia with his DeHavilland DHC-2 beaver. He soon added a second airplane and pilot to his business, and within five years was operating a fleet of small aircraft to shuttle campers, fishermen, and hunters to resort and wildlife areas. The airline was originally known as Hunter Airways.

In 2005, Hunter Airways established code-sharing relationships with other Canadian operators and changed its name to NorthernStar Airways. The company specialized in charter and feeder services to the major airports of western Canada with its headquarters at Kelowna, BC.

NorthernStar Airways now operates franchises with locally owned FBO's in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon, and is expecting to open offices soon in Alaska and Hawaii..
