The qualities associated with Northern Shield Helicopters are consistent with those of Transwest Air. This is a company whose fixed-wing segment (on wheels, skis and floats), for example, is not only the largest in the province, containing over 20 diverse planes, but has provided reliable, safe, and efficient flights (both scheduled and chartered, carrying passengers or cargo, and for personal or corporate use) for over 60 years. It is the forward thinking of the company that led to the creation of a redesigned passenger/cargo combination aircraft to service the needs of the communities it serves in Northern Saskatchewan. Recently, Transwest Air and Northern Shield Helicopters were purchased by Westwind Aviation. It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Westwind Aviation. Westwind Aviation is 87 per cent Aboriginal owned and 13 per cent employee owned. Transwest Air and Northern Shield helicopters were
born in the north and are proud to continue to serve the people in the north. For more information about Northern Shield Helicopters, contact Adam Kaine, Chief Pilot and Director of Flight Operations, at (306) 764-1404 or email at a.kaine@northernshieldhelicopters.com. 6
