Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport - YEV

The Usual Suspects

Posted on 30 October 2007 at 05:16

The bulk of the Aklak Air fleet lined up on the apron at Inuvik. In order of appearance: Beechcraft 99 C-GKBK, Beechcraft 100 C-GWWA, Embraer Bandeirante C-GKCP, deHavilland Twin Otter C-GDHC

Operated for Aklak by Kenn Borek Air, these aircraft represent most of the regional traffic between Inuvik and the surrounding communities.

Interestingly, C-GKBK was once flown by my brother-in-law on a United Nations contract in Pakistan back in the early 90's when he was with Kenn Borek. He now drives 737s for WestJet.

I know its cold, I wondered what your average daily temp is and how much you are affected by strong winds.

Nice to see a busy airport

Best wishes

Temperature this time of year averages around -15 C

We are blessed to be in a somewhat sheltered location so winds are never a problem. 'Strong' winds here are 40-50kmh and that is a rare event.

Nice!

That is, indeed a beautiful aircraft here in Inuvik. Most certainly the fastest regional plane in the north
