Air Inuit Takes Delivery of Its First Boeing 737-800 Combi
Air Inuit (3H, Kuujjuaq) has received its first Boeing 737-800 Combi aircraft, marking a major milestone in the airline’s ongoing fleet modernization. The carrier announced the delivery on social media following the aircraft’s arrival in Montréal.
Registered C-FTUW (msn 40852), the aircraft was ferried from Kelowna—where it underwent a combi conversion by KF Aerospace—to Montréal Trudeau Airport on October 9, 2025, according to ADS-B data. It is the first of three Boeing 737-800(C) aircraft that Air Inuit plans to operate, with the second unit, C-FTUY (msn 40853), still awaiting delivery.
Chief Executive Christian Busch told ch-aviation that C-FTUW is expected to enter scheduled commercial service in the second half of November. The aircraft features a flexible configuration with 90 passenger seats and capacity for five cargo pallets, allowing the airline to efficiently serve remote northern communities where both passenger and freight demand are high.
According to ch-aviation data, Air Inuit’s fleet currently includes four Boeing 737-200Cs, one Boeing 737-300QC, one Boeing 737-800 undergoing conversion, one Boeing 737-800SF, and several De Havilland Canada aircraft—seven DHC-6-300s, four DHC-8-100s, three DHC-8-300s, four DHC-8-300(F)s, and six DHC-8-Q300s.
The addition of the 737-800(C) enhances Air Inuit’s operational flexibility, fuel efficiency, and cargo capabilities as it continues to modernize its fleet for northern operations.
