Adlair Aviation

Adlair Aviation (1983) Ltd. is a family-owned charter airline in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada.

[11] Beginning in 1992, Adlair Aviation's medevac flights were staffed by nurses based in Cambridge Bay and Yellowknife who were employed by Medflight.

[13][14] In August 2011, the Government of Nunavut announced that the medevac contract for the Kitikmeot Region had been given to Air Tindi, along with its partner Aqsaqniq.

[16] In December 2012, Adlair Aviation filed a $31.5 million lawsuit against the Government of Nunavut over the loss of the medevac contract.

[19] While about 180 km (110 mi) from the airport, and at 23,000 ft (7,000 m), one of the two passengers, Julian Tologanak-Labrie,[20][Notes 1] became upset, opened the cabin door and jumped to his death.

The aircraft landed in Cambridge Bay with the damaged door partially open and no injuries to the flight crew or the other passenger.

The inquest recommended that Adlair Aviation install rear-view mirrors in its medevac aircraft, and have a nurse onboard during medical charter flights,[24] although Adlair Aviation already instituted a policy requiring such a nurse as a result of the incident.
