Joe Sparling, Air North's President and CEO is honoured to receive these awards, proud of the great team for earning them, and thankful to all loyal Yukoners and travellers from around the world for taking the time to provide a review to Tripadvisor.
"I am especially pleased to see these awards go to a northern air carrier as it provides a great illustration of the role they play in the North, not only providing essential air services, but also strengthening the northern economy through Indigenous and non-Indigenous employment and investment," Sparling said.
Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor said in a statement, "Winners of the 2020 Travellers' Choice Awards should be proud of this distinguished recognition. Although it's been a challenging year for travel and hospitality, we want to celebrate our partners' achievements. Award winners are beloved for their exceptional service and quality.

On Monday, the airline announced the Air North Care First program, which focuses on putting the care of their passengers, communities and staff first by implementing additional health and safety measures. As part of this commitment, Air North is not selling middle seats on their Boeing 737 jets, except to passengers of the same social bubble, in order to facilitate physical distancing onboard.
