Essential Express
C-FWZV, a de Havilland Canada DHC-7-103, at Yellowknife Airport in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It was departing as TIN802 (Air Tindi Ltd.) to the tiny communities of Wekweeti and Gameti in the Northwest Territories.
Like many others, these two remote NWT communities are only accessible year-round by air. The movement of essentials such as fuel, food, pharmaceuticals and building materials is accomplished by flights like this. Each of those communities have a 3,000-foot-long gravel runway that can easily accommodate the nimble Dash 7.
Tli Cho Air Inc. is a joint venture between the Tlicho people's Tlicho Investment Corporation (52%) and Air Tindi Ltd. (48%). It provides scheduled passenger service and cargo flights from Yellowknife to Gameti, Wekweeti and Whati.
Serial number 81 began its career as P2-ANP with Air Niugini Limited at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea on May 5, 1982.
Forty years later, it continues to accomplish important missions.
