Air Inuit Pilots Unified in Securing First Contract

Air Inuit pilots celebrated their first anniversary under ALPA representation in November 2024. During that first year, they established their Master Executive Council committee structure, familiarized themselves with the Association's vast resources, and began negotiating a new contract with their employer.

The pilot group seeks to achieve a fair agreement that reflects their flying skills and their role in maintaining the airline's impressive safety record and also enhances their quality of life. As of January 2025, the pilots' Negotiating Committee and management have tentatively agreed to more than 90 percent of nonmonetary issues. The pilots are united and determined to secure a competitive collective agreement that recognizes the value they bring to their airline.

For almost 50 years, Air Inuit pilots have transported needed supplies to remote Nunavut villages. The seasoned pilots fly in some of the most challenging and extreme northern conditions, on gravel airstrips and in inclement weather, to serve the many Inuit coastal communities.

Our pilot group and Negotiating Committee knew that joining the world’s largest pilots union was the only way to negotiate our new contract.
