Yellowknife Air Shuttle
The Yellowknife service center is located 942 miles north of Edmonton and has been
servicing the northern communities since 1949. Due to it’s location it requires some
innovative handling of freight to ensure our customers receive their shipments
throughout the year.
Every Spring for approximately 3-4 weeks beginning mid April, freight is air shuttled
across the Mackenzie River, as the winter ice road is melting and the ferry cannot yet
be launched.
Freight moves by road from Edmonton to Fort Providence at which time it is off loaded
and shuttled across the river via helicopter, taking 2 pallets at a time using special
slings. Once across the river the freight is reloaded into trailers and carriers on to
Yellowknife for delivery.
Customers have an option of having the freight held in Edmonton until the ferry is
operational, if there is no rush.
This entire procedure is repeated in the Fall while the ice builds up again in
preparation for the winter road.
