OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
THE NEED!
Northern communities rely heavily on air transportation as a primary way to connect to the outside and uphold access to different resources for survival including cargo transport, medevac services and fire-fighting. A national shortage of experienced flight crew has been identified which is also an issue for northern and remote operators, there is also a demand in northern and remote Canada for personnel for all aviation related occupations including maintenance and airport operations.
NTF is dedicated to promote aviation careers in the North and support participants throughout the process!

THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO PURSUE A CAREER IN AVIATION
When choosing a career in aviation, you choose a career of fulfilment and endless possibilities. From saving lives when flying air ambulances to flying across the Atlantic, controlling air traffic to fixing jumbo jets, the industry offers a broad variety of options for all women and men. The world-wide professional shortage gives candidates the ease of finding employment immediately after graduation. I encourage people to start a career in aviation, you’ll find that here the sky is not the limit.
