Nolinor Aviation (N5, Montréal Trudeau) has acquired a former North Cariboo Air (NCB, Fort St. John) complex at Edmonton International for an undisclosed sum. The 41,600-square-foot (3,900-square-metre) facility includes a fully equipped passenger terminal, offices, and a 30,000-square-foot (2,800-square-metre) hangar.
Marco Prud’Homme, president of Nolinor Aviation, said the purchase reinforces the company’s commitment to Edmonton (where it opened a base in 2024). The company invests in infrastructure, local talent, and services to support the needs of its clients in the north, it said in a statement. The new facility also enables the addition of another B737-200 to the fleet and the opening of a third heavy maintenance line, the first outside the Montréal region.
The on-site Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) has full passenger check-in counters, security screening, and cargo handling capabilities. The complex also provides office space for mining companies seeking to coordinate operations directly, the company said in a statement.
Nolinor said it plans to enhance the terminal progressively. It is also actively pursuing new contracts in the region and aims to add at least one more major fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) agreement in the coming months.
The ch-aviation fleets module shows Nolinor’s fleet comprises sixteen aircraft including two B737-200s, one B737-200(QC), six B737-200Cs, one B737-300(QC), three B737-400s, one B737-800, one Learjet 45, and one Learjet 45(XR).
North Cariboo Air operates two ARJ100s, two DHC-8-300s, and one DHC-8-Q300. ch-aviation reached out to the company for comment, but it was not immediately available.
