at  North Star Air

JOIN OUR TEAM AS AN HR MANAGER AT NORTH STAR AIR IN THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO!

About Us:
North Star Air began operations in 1997 with the purchase of two single-engine Beaver aircraft on floats based on Pickle Lake. In cooperation with its sister company Canoe Frontier, North Star Air flew paddlers and fishermen into Ontario’s Last Frontier north of Pickle Lake. Shortly thereafter a DHC-3 Turbo-Otter and Cessna Caravan on floats joined the operation. In 2001, North Star Air moved from its water base on Pickle Lake to the Pickle Lake Airport.
Today North Star Air services over 54 remote Northern communities with its fleet of 18 aircraft and 300+ dedicated employees. Most importantly, North Star Air has, and continues to, make a difference in the North. Our revenue sharing program has generated over $8 million for its strategic partners while providing safe, affordable and reliable air transportation solutions.
North Star Air is the recipient of the 2019 Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce Large Business Excellence Award and the 2019 NOBA Company of the Year (51+) Award.
