ICE PILOTS BUFFALO AIRWAYS

摘要

Yellowknife Airport, in Canada's North West Territories (NWT) is home to Buffalo Airways, an operator made famous by the television series, Ice Pilots NWT. The show charts the fortunes of the airline, including the severe Canadian winter months, hence the title. The crash of Curtiss C-46 Commando C-GTXW at Deline on September 25, led to a much-publicised suspension of Buffalo's Air Operator Certificate (AOC) on November 30. So as not to disappoint local passenger and cargo customers over the Christmas period, Buffalo continued its Hay River to Yellowknife services using chartered aircraft; however this also ceased on December 24. On January 12, Buffalo's corrective action plans were approved by Transport Canada and the suspension was lifted. The airline has now recommenced freight flights.
