🚨 Big News! 🚨

We’re pleased to share that Alkan Air has been awarded a new 10-year contract with the Government of Yukon to continue providing fixed-wing medevac services across the territory.

This contract reflects a long-standing partnership and a shared commitment to ensuring timely, reliable, and high-quality emergency medical transport for all Yukoners.

The new agreement continues our 24/7 coverage, enhanced services, and the introduction of 2 newer aircraft—75% of which are owned in partnership with several Yukon First Nation development corporations, reinforcing our commitment to shared value and long-term collaboration.

Thank you to our entire team for the professionalism and dedication that made this possible.
