Slate Falls Airways operates a fleet of six aircraft: two Cessna 206's, a Cessna Caravan and Cessna 210, a DeHavilland Beaver and DeHavilland Otter, along with a professional roster of seven pilots. Here at Slate Falls Airways, we have our own certified maintenance organization to keep our fleet in top shape all year. We operate all year from Sioux Lookout; from Pelican Lake in the summer and an ice runway in the winter. The 1,700 ft. ice runway on Pelican Lake is useable from December to April. During freeze-up and break-up, our flights are operated from the Sioux Lookout airport.

Slate Falls Airways started life as the Slate Falls Trading Company in 1955. Until the 1960's we transported furs and fish from the north and, in time, began evolving into tourist flying and air ambulance service throughout the north. Slate Falls has operated everything from DC-3's to Taylorcrafts, SeaBees to Twin Otters, and Queen Airs to Beech 18's. What began with two Piper Super Cubs in 1955 is now a mainstay in northwestern Ontario. We still operate on charters and do tourist flying, but no longer air ambulance service.

In the 1960's we began operating out of Sioux Lookout, Ontario and changed our name to Slate Falls Airways in 1969. The company has been evolving ever since, and we continue to be a versatile presence in the Northern Ontario aviation industry.

If you are driving to Sioux Lookout, we are located right behind the Robin's Donuts on Wellington Street - just look for the big blue hangar and fleet of bright orange & white aircraft. If you are flying into Sioux Lookout on your own aircraft, the airport at Sioux Lookout (CYXL) offers parking, tiedowns, air terminal building, pilot lounge and both Avgas and Jet-A. Our water base (CKA6) has room for docking (prior arrangement required), Avgas, Jet-A and tiedowns are available.
