The 2014 NATA Trade Show is officially sold-out.  Thanks to our exhibitors for getting their registrations in early.  We're looking forward to a great conference this year, see you in Whitehorse!

NATA member Air North, Yukon's Airline, commenced on February 6 a new twice weekly service linking Whiterhorse and Yellowknife to Ottawa.  The service, timed for the person needing to do business for a few days in either direction, shortens the travel time between the destinations considerably.  For more information see the Air North web site at www.flyairnorth.com.
