The only airline operating in Fort Smith, N.W.T., has announced it will stop offering scheduled flights as of Jan. 16.
Northwestern Air Lease made the announcement on its website and in a Facebook post Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes after weeks of flight cancellations due to a pilot shortage and weather challenges. Earlier in December, Northwestern Air Lease president Terry Harrold said the airline was trying to keep a regular schedule but has found it challenging.
The airline said Wednesday it would still be operating its Cessna, which it uses for charter flights.
It said in its announcement that Air Tindi could be stepping into the service gap.
More to come.
