Arctic Aviation

The importance of aviation to northern development at all levels cannot be overstated.  When aviation service is interrupted, life in the 1,500 communities in the Arctic beyond their national road and rail systems is dramatically affected.  During periods of intensive economic development spurred by global markets, it is critical that continuing service to the local population be maintained.  The ability of Arctic peoples to operate and compete within the national and international framework depends critically on their access to affordable air service.

The Institute of the North has hosted and developed an extensive array of conferences, projects, trainings, and databases. Exploring issues of navigation, weather, management, and more, our Arctic Aviation initiatives provide industry and policy leaders with essential information, science, and networking opportunities to meet the challenges of the arctic.
