Air Inuit's mission is to keep Quebec's northernmost communities connected in the safest possible conditions. We also contribute to their socio-economic development by promoting access to employment for the Inuit. More Than Just Transportation. Founded by the Inuit in 1978, Air Inuit was created to provide air connections between Nunavik's 14 coastal villages, to promote trade and to preserve Inuit culture. The company is also committed to the development of this immense territory and the prosperity of its people by providing support to various community organizations, cultural events, educational and sports programs, as well as the implementation of employment access programs for Inuit people.
