Transfer included in deal to sell Canadian North to Exchange Income Corp.
Air Inuit will take over Canadian North’s route between Kuujjuaq and Montreal starting Aug. 6.
The transfer of the route was announced in February when it was revealed that Makivvik Corp. and Inuvialuit Regional Corp. had tentatively sold Canadian North, which currently operates the route, to Exchange Income Corp. of Winnipeg for $205 million.
As part of the deal, Canadian North would go to Exchange Income Corp. with the exception of the Kuujjuaq-Montreal route, which Makkivik Corp. retained and would operate through its other airline, Air Inuit.
The companies originally aimed for an Oct. 1 date for that transfer.
