Nolinor ramps up capacity for rising Northern demand, brings back the Boeing 737-200

Nolinor Aviation has announced the reintroduction of a Boeing 737-200 aircraft to its fleet, marking the first expansion in its northern division in three years. This move comes in response to the increasing demand for efficient, robust aircraft capable of operating on gravel runways, especially amid the recent surge in mining activities in Nunavut driven by the global push towards electrification.

The 737-200, known for its adaptability to challenging northern terrains, represents a significant investment for Nolinor Aviation. Over seven months and with an expenditure exceeding $3 million, the aircraft underwent extensive mechanical refurbishments. This particular model holds a unique position in the aviation industry, being the only one with a Boeing certification for gravel runway operations.
