Regional 1 de Havilland Canada Dash 8 as used by Canadian North

Current charter contracts include providing scheduled service for Canadian North, and various oil and gas companies. Historically they operated one aircraft in the Democratic Republic of Congo, flying for the World Food Programme, under the auspices of MONUC. The company also operated two Dash 8 and two DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft for Flamingo Air in Haiti, until operations were halted after the fall of former President Aristide. Police fleeing insurgents in Cap Haitien hijacked one Dash 8 on the ramp and forced the crew to fly them to Port Au Prince, and during the takeoff roll the aircraft came under fire but was not damaged.^{[citation needed]}
