‘We’re glad to welcome and support Propair, a regional airline that, with its long operational history, understands those needs and values the opportunity to provide air service to the North Bay region’
Bryan Avery says the Propair Airline, which will start offering flights from Jack Garland Airport in North Bay to Toronto, is welcome addition, and some good business news for the airport in 2026.
“It’s an exciting opportunity for the region, with service to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport again, as well as an all-new connection with Rouyn-Noranda Airport,” said Avery, the Airport Manager at North Bay’s airport.
The new service is operated by Propair, a regional air carrier based in Northern Quebec with over 70 years of aviation experience.
These flights, offered five days a week, will begin in February 2026, and reservations are now available online at www.propair.ca.

The new airline fills a void left by Air Canada, which announced in September 2025 that it would be leaving North Bay at the end of January 2026.
The Beechcraft 1900D aircraft, which accommodates up to 18 passengers, will operate regular flights from North Bay to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to better meet the needs of a wide range of travellers and facilitate connections to international flights.
Propair will also offer a shuttle service between Billy Bishop Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport.
“We’re glad to welcome and support Propair, a regional airline that, with its long operational history, understands those needs and values the opportunity to provide air service to the North Bay region,” added Avery.
“With the information and comments we received during our traveller analysis in summer 2025, as well as in recent months, we knew that options to travel with greater flexibility were what was needed.”
Avery notes that Propair is not new to North Bay.
“In the past, they’ve operated charters to many airports such as ours to connect businesses,” said Avery.
“After a lot of work by all stakeholders, Propair is now introducing this regularly scheduled air service that everyone can book for business or liesure – today.
“Every ticket purchased with the airlines operating from North Bay Jack Garland Airport contributes to maintaining convenient air access for our region—an investment in our community’s future.”
